Hi Ladies,

Sorry to bombard you with all of these questions! I have literally 1 hour now, and then I probably wont be back until possibly tonight, but more likely Wednesday - this last week of school is rather chaotic!!

Now all of this comes from me thinking something is not quite right with my look at the moment - I *think* its my hair colour, but I'd really appreciate your input. It could also be that I'm still working out ways of filling in my chest/neck area now I have short hair - colours are fab, but I don't have many!

1. Specs - do you think when you have a major hair change (like going to a pixie LOL), what suits you as far as specs go, changes? Do you think my specs are still ok?

2. Hair Colour - my hair is currently mostly my natural colour for about 1", but the rest is worn out colour - and quite orangey. (It had been dark, then light, then dark again and the colour used to fade really quickly). I've been using my Colour Refresher Mousse (which is a Dark Ash Blond - apparently this is the one I needed to counteract the orangey, but this was sold to my by another stylist and I forgot to ask my new favourite one last week when I was there), but it doesn't seem to be helping much. And after all of that, what I was wanting to ask was... do you think its too light for me or is it something else that's wrong?

3. Last Question! When I was getting my trim last week, my stylist suggested my next colour is a really bold dramatic dark red colour - she thought it would suit me and look really good. I am booked for a colour on January 4th, so I have some time to decide, but what do you think about this for me? I would have to be sure that it was a dark and blue based colour (perhaps a burgundy?) and nothing too orangey - or is any red going to fad to orange?

I just feel a bit blah at the moment and I think its a combo of colour not being dark enough for me, and now that it has faded, my clothes aren't really working for me.

Here is a pic of me last night at our Carols on the Beach to refresh your memory (and of course, I had to include the one with my beautiful Miss Em!!) I do have red lippie and tinted moisturiser on though... so perhaps this isn't a good pic to gauge seeing as I'm wearing some make up... And come to think of it, my hair seems a bit darker in this too because I had used the colour refresher in the morning... I'll see if I can find a more accurate pic!

In the meantime though, thanks for reading through all my ramblings, and I really do appreciate any help you guys can offer. I'm not sure if it really is my hair colour that's not right or if its more that I'm feeling overwhelmed with stuff to do, zero shopping budget, horrible weather and wanting to have a nice sleep in!!

Thanks so much everyone!
