Chop chop

Before



After shots


Today I had an appointment with my hair stylist. An appointment that has been long awaited. About 8 years ago I cut all of my super long hair off. I cut it up right above my shoulders. This was before straighteners and cute short haircuts. This was the time of mushroom do's. Needless to say I didn't love it and I grew my hair super long again. Well for the past two years I've been battling with cutting it again. As most of you know its been very long for years and years and today I finally bit the bullet and chopped it off. This is a big deal for me, I don't usually deal with change well. But I did it. I went in and got a new haircut. Although its a ton shorter than it was before I think I really like it.

Here it is.....
Before and after

Oh girl I think it looks great!!!!!! You would be pretty bald!! I love you with long or short!! Looks great! Sometimes a change just feels good huh? :)

Kristi said...

Your hair looks really cute short! I cut mine almost identical once I had my baby! I got tired of taking so long to dry it and said chop it!

Kelly said...

I love it! My hubby has threatened to divorce me if I chop more than an inch off my head. LOL! :)
If I could wear it as cute as you, I would do it! I love it!!!

Lindsay said...

So much fun! I love it. Does it take less time to fix it? If so, that's always a plus with a new baby.

PotterMama said...

Cute! I am in the process of growing my hair out right now.

Valerie said...

You look adorable!

Sometimes, we just need a change to get ourselves feeling "sexy" again after a new baby!!! Nothing like a fun, flirty haircut to do the job.

Girl I LOVE IT! You'd be gorgeous without any hair so that helps but it looks so great! Cooper's gotta love his mommy's new hair do!

Lindsay said...

I love it! Ok, I have been toying with cutting my super long hair off too. I have always had long hair, cut it short (chin short) 2 times in my life.So you make me want to do it again! Looks so stinkin' cute! I told my hair stylist a few days ago when she was doing my highlights that I would cut it in 20 lbs!haha :)

Emily said...

Super cute and VERY chic. Plus, it'll probably be easier taking care of the little man. You know, I think almost all mothers go through the "chop it off" phase at some point...I did with all three of mine! ;)

Mrs. Hammer said...

I absolutely love it on you!

I always pay attention to how quick it takes new moms to cut their hair! It looks great, and makes me laugh that you consider your new 'do a "short" haircut! :-)
