I love this on you!&nbsp;<br /><br />Angie is so right. It's just gorgeous.&nbsp;<br /><br />I haven't read all the comments yet. And I know I am biased, as a pixie wearer. But please, please know, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.&nbsp;<br /><br />Also, I did see one line from you about how your daughter cried and begged you to change it back. My daughter did the same when I first cut my hair short. She really doesn't care for change and it seemed unfeminine to her at first (even though<b> she</b> is the tomboy!) But now she would be upset if I changed it again...people get used to it.&nbsp;<br /><br />You can definitely wear it this way if you wish to. You look so beautiful.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885787 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:27:51 +0000 Sarah A 885787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had to say what a great cut this is. I was expecting something entirely different from your verbal description and they the photos blew me away. So wonderful for your face shape and shows that sassy spunk I see in your outfits and smile! I love it with a hat too, the points pulled in front of your ears are perfect with a hat. I figured i'd comment on that too since it is important to me my cut works well with a hat on for outside <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885763 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:12:43 +0000 Inge 885763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm late to the party, but wanted to chime in to say that I too absolutely love your new do, Shevia! It suits your features beautifully, it's strong, playful and chic all at the same time. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885757 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:09:48 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 885757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE IT!&nbsp; Total impish, mischievous, wicked Tinkerbell who tormented Wendy, and tricked Tootles into shooting arrows at her rival, and you love every moment of her as she appears in the book - the REAL James Barrie Tinkerbell, not the cutsey Disney Tink.&nbsp; &nbsp; THAT is who you look like, and I admit I am more than a little jealous at how great you look!<br /><br />You are the .067% of the population with the perfect dainty features to rock that hairstyle.&nbsp; Own it and enjoy your dinner!&nbsp; &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885679 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:12:52 +0000 Mochi 885679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also think your haircut is beautifully done, proportionate to your features, and looks great on you. Perfect for spring.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885676 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:05:59 +0000 harmonica 885676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous!! Your beautiful face, smile and eyebrows show off so beautifully<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885315 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:15:31 +0000 Nadya 885315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another rave from me! &nbsp;Now go by some fab earrings to show off at your Seder https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-885071 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:59:50 +0000 Jaime 885071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just have to say one more time how amazing you all are. I was thinking how YLF is one of the&nbsp;few places in life one is really free to be supportive and kind&nbsp;to relative strangers (not that I feel like all of you are strangers but you know what I mean). In most of life I feel a bit wary of being seen as too mushy, or taken advantage of, or just met with unkindness, but here everyone treats everyone else as a sister (or occasionally brother) in the best possible way.&nbsp;<br /><br />So, in short, Angie drink some tea and wake up, we need you!&nbsp;<br />Alicat, your first comment was more than enough, but it was very sweet of you to write the followup.<br />Beth Ann I totally agree about Rae, and thank you for your sweet compliment.<br />Isis, I am going to stare at Angie in masonry view shortly!<br />Sara, you are right,&nbsp;DH is already getting used to it. Sort of.<br />Shannon, of course you are going to be even more a style inspiration for me now - thank you!<br />Tina you are a doll to say that!<br />Brenda, I think&nbsp;DH has been worried about this ever since I stopped dying my hair, but he is adjusting.<br />Clara and Astrid, I am just running out of ways to thank everyone, but it does not mean your words are not very appreciated!<br />Glory you are exactly right. It was very bristly to begin with and I am waiting for it to calm down a bit.<br />Ornella, wow,&nbsp;Arundhati Roy is gorgeous with short hair. And if someone as truly lovely (in every way)&nbsp;as you is inspired by my haircut in any way, I am just floored.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884461 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:04:47 +0000 Ornella 884461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had to get back to admire your new do more, before you post the next WIW :-)<br /><br />This actually&nbsp;reminds&nbsp;me of Arundhati Roy's short haircut, a classic example how the short hair can&nbsp;exude femininity and strength&nbsp;so much more than the long hair...<br /><br />You really make me want to go short too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884421 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:37:40 +0000 Astrid 884421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with everyone else, you look fantastic with this haircut! It really suits you and it's so chic. Give your family and yourself some time to get used to it.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884374 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:17:38 +0000 Angie 884374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KILLER to the power of KILLER<br /><br />That's the only appropriate resposne from me :)<br /><br />And this:<br /><br />*faints*<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884364 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:13:20 +0000 Glory 884364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well you look beautiful, vibrant and youthful&nbsp;with this lovely hair cut. It likely was alot of cut&nbsp;all at one time so will take a little longer to get used to it. I also think that the first week or so with such a radical cut is hard because the blunt ends need some time to relax.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884349 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:06:02 +0000 ClaraT 884349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, so chic. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884342 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:00:19 +0000 qfbrenda 884342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your salt and pepper!&nbsp; I like the haircut on you but totally understand your hubby's reaction.&nbsp; My husband would have reacted that way or worse!&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; That's his big fear with me and my gray roots... that I'll go get a pixie to chop all the colored parts off.&nbsp; Regardless of our husband's opinions, I think it looks cute on you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884311 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:42:09 +0000 Tina.b 884311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shevia, I first read your comments and I braced myself for the worst. Then I looked at the photos and almost passed out. You are stunning!!! So chic and elegant and I love seeing more of your beautiful face. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884294 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:28:15 +0000 K. Period. 884294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Seriously, when I popped open the picture, all I could think was "You don't love it? It looks FANTASTIC on you!" I think the shock at the shift is just&nbsp;making it hard for your family to view it objectively. If I saw you on the street, I would definitely look carefully to store the details of how your gorgeous look worked&nbsp;in my "book of lovely."&nbsp;&nbsp;(And I'm with Ceit. That's exactly what I thought when I read your daughter was upset--it is the change that is startling to her.) Give yourself some time to enjoy your new glorious gorgeousness. You look fab!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884286 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:21:05 +0000 Anonymous 884286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think your daughter cried because kids have definite ideas on what their parents should look like and that means it should not change :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884279 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:13:50 +0000 Susie 884279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, we like it, we really like it! :)<br /><br />Truly, it looks fantastic on you! Very, very flattering. I think it is chic and sassy and seems to fit you so well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884269 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:03:29 +0000 rachylou 884269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I did something like that to my dad when I was wee, except I think he was growing a beard. Wailed something awful...<br /><br />But this haircut is great on you! I can't even remember now what you looked like before. This really resets the stage. I say it's all in the length of the neck, got to have the right length, lol.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884176 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:25:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 884176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shevia - please don't hate this hair cut because it looks AMAZING on you! I love it! Your beautiful face shape and lovely eyes show even more now and I can see this pixie-impish style working so well with your menswear inspired outfits. Once you learn how to work that short hair, you are gonna LOVE IT!<br /><br />I suspect your angst over it and hubby's reaction is just due to the shock of such a drastic change. Give it time and play with it.<br /><br />I also adore the bag - what a fantastic find! Carry on with your gorgeous self... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884168 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:12:34 +0000 Sara L. 884168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with everyone else that your hair looks great!&nbsp; I know it was a big change from your previous hair, but hopefully as you (and your hubby) get used to it, you won't feel as strange.&nbsp; The bag is great and the hat is fun, although I don't think you need it to hide your hair. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884164 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:02:39 +0000 Isis 884164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shevia, I love your new hair.&nbsp; I liked your old 'do as well, but this new one makes you look like a model!&nbsp; So fashionable and chic; you were meant for short hair!&nbsp; <br /><br />Somewhere in the past couple weeks Angie posted how she does her hair.&nbsp; I can't remember the details, but I do remember that it only took 10 minutes.<br /><br />I'd stay with short hair for awhile and enjoy it 'cuz you look great!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884159 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:00:55 +0000 Beth Ann 884159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another voice shouting......."Shevia looks amazing!" at the monitor.<br /><br />I understand the shock of such a major change, but this cut reveals your gorgeous cheekbones and lovely jawline and, yes, yes the grey looks more intentional.&nbsp; It's a happy, confident and friendly look --- a way of opening your face and self to the world to see it fully and be seen, too.<br /><br />I'm sure it will take some work to learn to style it -- particularly with the uniqueness of every curly head!&nbsp; It seems that hair changes like this often change the way women accessorize and dress. &nbsp; I'd encourage you to read through some of Rae's posts -- she's being going through a similar transformation --- and she looks phenomenal!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884157 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:58:35 +0000 Anonymous 884157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Actually, it's beyond cute -- it's chic! &nbsp;I don't think my first comment conveyed how much I really, really love this cut on you!<br /><br />And I'm another one who didn't notice your outfit because I was too mesmerized by your gorgeous face! &nbsp;Best eyebrows ever! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath/page/2#post-884151 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:54:32 +0000 Anonymous 884151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Awww, I think it's really cute! &nbsp;You have such a beautiful face, and this cut shows it off. &nbsp;<br /><br />Hugs! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath#post-884117 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:30:24 +0000 Jaime 884117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am just&nbsp;flabberghasted and overwhelmed by all your sweet comments. I really had hesitated to post because I did not&nbsp;want to force you all to find tactful ways to tell me there, there it will grow back. But I guess you like it, you really like it (anyone get the Sally Field reference or am I just amusing myself?). You really like it? No, sorry, I am laughing at myself now. Well I certainly will face my friends with sassy attitude knowing that I may one of the few people whose grey hair makes her look younger (thank you Una, Kristin&nbsp;and Mona)!<br /><br />You are all so thoughtful, really I am just sputtering. Kelly it made me so happy to be understood about seeing my mother in the mirror. Ornella you are very wise. One of my daughters burst out crying when she saw me and begged me to change it back - that was rough (she got over it faster than I did). Deborah, thank you for saying I look feminine. I have no problem seeing others as looking feminine with very short hair (Angie and Shannon come to mind), but I was not sure&nbsp;about myself. Deb, Carla, Niefern, Ceit, Ingunn, Elizabeth&nbsp;and Pil please know my first sentence refers to you. Also the sentence about sputtering. And Raisin and Mona I am no expert on who can pull off short hair, but you are both gorgeous and if I can do it so can you. I hope I haven't missed anyone; it is not intentional. You are all the greatest! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath#post-884098 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 13:03:09 +0000 Mona 884098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, Shevia. I wish I could wear short hair like you do. Your beautfitul skin and eyes are so much more in focus now and I agree with Una, you look younger and sassier. Please keep posting more WIW's as I want to see your beautiful new do everyday. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath#post-884083 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:37:56 +0000 pil 884083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shevia, you look gorgeous! This style is truly stunning on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-in-the-aftermath#post-884077 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:29:33 +0000 Elizabeth P 884077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are you kidding?&nbsp; This cut is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />
