It really suits you. It will be interesting to see if people treat you differently!
I tried to go to back to my natural color (dark blonde) once, only to hear major protests from family and friends. (I could not get used to not being blonde myself - and clearly neither could they.)
The 2nd photo is my favorite...very playful and summertimey.
I told myself I would stop coloring my hair when I found grey ones 'down there' and other than wishing I could have an eyelift, I don't feel any older going grey...and I love saving some $$ too as I didn't color my hair myself.
I absolutely love your new "do" !!!! You got a great cut and your color is gorgeous!!! Isn't it amazing how much better we feel just by stepping out of our box and getting a new look?!!? I've had my hair red since I was a junior in high school and it's been different shades of red ever since. I've also had very short hair for years but have recently been growing it out just a little bit. I need a change, too. : )
aha, i didn't know you had coloured your hair in a major way before, wow, then i can totally, or rather even more, understand the liberating feeling of this!! congrats to taking a new step in your life, liberating indeed! and the bunny-ear-comment, i see that now, fun:)
I didn't know you were blonde... this looks perfectly natural and really youthful on you!...the hair cut is a good one for your face too.. that always helps. Good decision!
Would not have known you! I really think the color looks great.
Have a great day!
Best Tracy :)

i've been coloring my hair blonde since i was a junior in high school.
that was a long time ago.
today, that all changed.
and i have to tell you that i feel incredibly liberated.
who knew a color and cut could free up so much baggage?
baggage i didn't even know i was carrying around.
and definitely didn't attach to my hair color.
i seriously feel like a new person.
mostly it feels pretty good that i finally really dared something.
and it feels like just the beginning.

Love it Julie! I think it suits you much better than the blond, it looks softer and yet lively :)
