Ok, am a 40yo frump. Photo of me included.

Have booked in at hairdressers tomorrow for a pixi cut. Hair is currently past boobs. Really thick. I wear it tied back in a high pony tail all the time and need to do something as it's so boring.

So really cropped? A bit bouffant? Something in between? Or cancel the appt?

Love it and it really suits you! Takes years off and shows bone structure.

Slightly shocked, but yes I like it. Wouldn't say I love it, but I like it. Didn't come out crying! Grin

Wow! It looks great! Has your DH seen it yet?

CoperCabana · 21/12/2016 17:32

I agree it makes you look younger. You are very brave after nearly everyone said don't do it!

littlepinkfizz · 21/12/2016 17:33

Love it!!!

RemusLupinsChristmasMovie · 21/12/2016 17:34

Looks great! And the perfect excuse for new earrings and a new lipstick, which is what I always feel I need when I get my hair cut short.

MitzyLeFrouf · 21/12/2016 17:34

You look fabuloso!

Frazzled2207 · 21/12/2016 17:36

Oh well done to you and your hairdresser for being brave. Love it!
Can we have side/back shots too?
It will take a while to get used to, but that's not a bad thing.

Lovelybangers · 21/12/2016 17:37

I love it.

Another short hair fan here. (although I am currently trying to grow mine out a little from a super short pixie)

Have fun styling and trying out different specs/jewellery/make up.

SillyOldUncleFeedle · 21/12/2016 17:39

It really suits you and I agree you need to cracking out the red and orange lipsticks now!

See! It does suit you! How fabulous do you look!

BringMeTea · 21/12/2016 18:23

Looks great!!! Good for you. I reckon you could go even shorter at the back.

RubyWinterstorm · 21/12/2016 18:24

Ok, now you look 10-15 years younger! Wow

BringMeTea · 21/12/2016 18:24

And you look about 25!

Frouby · 21/12/2016 18:36

Love it! Told you to go for it, it really suits you and you look 15 years younger. You have fab skin and lovely eyes and it really suits you. And I bet it looks even cooler with your glasses.
