(Devil's) Haircut


Before.


During.



After!

Well. I did it. I chopped it (rather Selin, my hairdresser) chopped it alllll off!
I was sort of going for Anne Parillaud's look in La Femme Nikita (the film NOT the television series). On one hand I'm totally used to it -I used to have very short hair for years- on the other, I'm still getting used to it! Change, overall, can be good. I feel like I'm at a weird transition in my life right now, and this seemed like an impulsive- but good- idea!

    I always thought that you looked great with your short hair, it showcases the fabulous cheek bones that you have.

    I like your new haircut Jennifer! I think I prefer rather than long hair!... And the first time I saw "Nikita", I went to cut my hair too! I adore this film...
    And I recognize this beautiful Nani Iro fabric... Did you sew this top?

    Claire,
    Thank-you! The fabric is actually by Virgina Johnson (see my links under favorite merchants). The dress was a Christmas gift- it came from Beklina, one of my very favorite online stores!

    I saw the film (Nikita) in the mid- '90's. Always been a favorite of mine!

    Cheryl & Jeana & Mae...thank you, you beautiful & talented women, you!
    (Mae- I've always liked my cheek bones, too. It's nice to be at an age where I finally like the way I look).

    Brand new Jennifer, isn't it fun? When I cut mine a few years ago I also loved the feeling of change and "transition" !

    I agree with the above - great cheek bones and cute all over :)

    Looks great! It keep building my stash of bravery!

    There's two things I want to try...I have dark hair and brows and have never lighted my hair at all but I want to some time shave it all, well not the brows :)
    The other is go to totally platinum blond.
