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.

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.)
It really does suit you! It brings out your eyes and your wisdom.
Lovely pictures by Sabine!
It looks awesome I was so shocked when I saw it on facebook but you do look fabulous :D xxxx
What a wonderful post. And you look fabulous!!!
Look at you, my beautiful lady friend! Aw... the new haircut is so good on you and also the color! :)
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.
Nice bunny ears.
Love this!
(And love Bill's comment re: bunny ears)

It took me all the way to the last photo to believe it was you.
It looks gorgeous! You look gorgeous. Can't wait to hear what other activities this liberation sparks in you.
LOVELY!!
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. : )

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!
Bravo to you for embracing change...you look lovely, happy and self-assured! Good for you!!! Cheers, Patti
Love it Julie! I think it suits you much better than the blond, it looks softer and yet lively :)
Love your new color Julie! You look fabulous!! xo
Hello Julie
Would not have known you! I really think the color looks great.
Have a great day!
