Short hairstyle for round face

Hello

I have short hair. I think I want to go shorter, but I have no idea what to do!

How do I decide what to do? I have a trusted hair dresser who I've been to for about 20 years and she originally took me from long to short. I know she would tell me honestly what she thought and can no doubt come up with something, but I'd like to be able to go armed with a vague idea at least.

My current style (if you can call it that!) Is short and asymmetric. Shaved around one side and the back, longer on the other, at it's longest it goes to chin length. I think that's the bit I want to change, I'm getting less and less tolerant of it flopping in my face, especially in this weather.

When I've googled for inspiration, it's all v glamorous looking women and I'm an overweight, worn out middle aged mum of two disabled children who works 60 hours a week. At the moment I wash, towel dry and go. My hair is thick, naturally straight and I need low maintenance which by my standard is no/minimal styling required to look semi-human.

Please help me!

Personally, I would grow it long.

That's not dissimilar to how it is now to be fair - similar length around back and sides (overdue a cut!) but the floppy bit is a bit longer
