Well Danni Minogue gets about 100 different styles out of her bob so worth a look at her perhaps.

Or just wear some brighter lipstick Wink

I thought you were some dim-witted newbie posting twice in your distress
I can never do anything with a bob once the cut has been done, apart from grow it out
(not v helpful emotion)

How does it look with a hairband? Lots of choice, particularly for evening.

Try different partings - or a zigzag parting?

Mine is layered at the back so I can get it to flick out for a different look (usually use a large barrel brush to get it smooth and curled under). Works well under a cap-type hat.

For evening try a pretty slide - you can get some vintage-style ones or diamante (think 1920's style).

Three good Danni looks here: www.nowmagazine.co.uk/star-style/celebrity-hair/381583/dannii-minogue--three-ways-to-wear-a-bob/1/

I agree with the lipstick idea, I've dyed mine black and am wearing red lipstick and black eyeliner. Changes my whole look in less than 10 mins.

I'm also wearing vintage scarfs and pushing it back Alice band style when my fringe bugs me, which is most of the time...

Black may be a bit much for you (it may be for me), but bobs are great for experimenting with colour.

BTW - I am 32 weeks gone with a round face when non pregnant, so feeling your pain.
