I think my hair is more brown than what it looks like here...here is seems to still have gold in it, but I don't think that is the case "in real life." The clothing color looks correct though...so who knows, maybe it doesn't look like i think it does. I guess I didn't realize until seeing more photos of me, just how blonde my hair was.

Thursday - liz claiborne black dress, printed sleeveless shirt, pink gap cardigan; FS boots
Friday - jean skirt, willow bay tights, print top, vanity blazer
I scanned these from my "hair file." I have kept a file marked HAIR STYLES in my file cabinet drawer for as long as I can remember. It is filed, alphabetically with my bank statements, credit card statements, utility bills, etc! Some of them didn't get scanned because they were out of date, etc.
This one is a bit too short, but I scanned it anyways.
This is one of the newer ones that made it into the hair file. You can see it was folded. About 6 months ago, I brought it to my hairstyist, but I decided I didn't want to get THAT much cut off. At that time my hair was about 3 inches longer than it is now. I would be willing to go this short now.
Below is a bunch of photos. The first one is me...about 1993 or so. (the person ripped off the other side of the photo is my ex-husband...he COULD NOT BE INCLUDED in my hair file : ) The third one in the top row is one that someone on the forum sent me the link to.
The last two are too short - but isn't that blondie adorable??? I have had that one in the hair file for many, many years. It has been given to 2 of my co-workers who had hair growing back in after going thru chemo for breast cancer. They both brought it to their stylists when they got their first haircuts. I always made them promise to bring it back for my file!
My hair is very straight, and I have heavy bangs. It grows forward, and I wouldn't be able to do a side swept look without a bobby pin holding it in place.
So...what do you think? Any of these, or a combination of a few what you have in mind for me? Angie, you wrote:

Monday - I decided I just had to try to redeem myself after the disaster last time I wore this skirt. I have 2 denim "blazer" type jackets. I just picked this one up at the thrift store on my last excursion. I think it is OK like this...what do you think? I have never tried this type of jacket with a skirt.

I am mad that I wasn't looking right at the camera like all the other photos because maybe it makes this pair not look as good. I think this is the pair I would like to get. It has no nose pads which would really be nice because when I am not wearing them, I can prop them on top of my head and they won't get caught in my hair! I only need glasses for distance, so I will likely be taking them on and off quite a bit. These are brown with green on the inside. On a side note: I do not like peppers OF ANY KIND...except these glasses! If you think I need to go back and get another photo, I can do that.
Lundgren Scandinavia - I think these are probably my favorite, but they have nose pads and are quite a bit more $. I think these are navy. This must be a newer brand as I can find very little on the internet by this brand.
Kate Spade:
1. Vera Wang (dark purple)
2. Lundgren Scandinavian (dark blue)
3. JLo (satin brown)
are any of these keepers?? They all sort of look the same to me. Click here to return to Angie's FAB BLOG and leave me comments...please!! http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/3-more-glasses-optionsplease-help-me-choose?replies=1#post-102038
]]>Monday - the very first photo up there was a big DON'T...i shouldn't have tucked the shirt in and should have worn it belted like I had planned.
Tuesday - Thursday: nothing exciting, except as I look at these again...Geez, my hair really is like a helmet!
After the comments on my hair in my glasses post on the forum, I decided to "style" it a little differently on Friday. It is less curled and looks less "done"...but I think I like it. I may still persue getting it cut, but for now, this isn't bad. Comments? Thanks Angie for the awesome post on throwing on a pop of color over a black turtleneck!

]]>I tried on a couple more pairs of glasses. My favorite is the first pair/photos. They are brown and purple, which you can't really see in the photos. I tried to crop it closer to show you, but as you can see...didn't work so hot. The white you see on the bow is the tag. The second pair has some orange. A few weeks ago I tried on a co-workers glasses and snapped a photo. I forgot to take one of the bows. They are cute. You can click on each picture to enlarge. I realize now, a bit of lipstick was in order!

The last photo above is getting the most positive comments and I am wondering if maybe it is because my hair is off my face. I have often thought I looked better with my hair off my face...but as I get older, maybe I thought all the hair around my face would detract from the wrinkles and age spots!!!
Here are the glasses again, with my hair down. Do you still prefer this pair, or maybe what I need more is a new hairstyle. Queenie posted an awesome hairstyle which she found here http://www.hairstylescut.com/images/choppy-medium.jpg THANKS QUEENIE!
OK...the glasses

]]>I guess I don't like this outfit after seeing it on camera. I love the skirt but need to figure out a different top. This looks awful.
