drastic changes ahead?


So I'm thinking I need a hot new look to brighten my mood and lift my spirits. I've been thinking about this look for awhile (after seeing something similar on Gossip Girl, of course) and I'm wondering if I should take the dive and just go for it!

I currently hair hair almost that length (I've been growing it our for quite some time... it had been dangerously short!) and I have blunt cut bangs similar to this, although they are much softer looking. The big difference is the color: I currently have dark blonde with lighter highlights. I had been practically black for awhile so this had been a change for the lighter already.

My current look appeals to me for a few reasons: it's natural looking, and my natural hair color is a dark blonde so I can go a very long time between colorings. And when you're poor like me and no longer get the perks of working at a salon, not having to color often is very nice.

However, I feel the need to be inspired and do something drastic. And I always thought I couldn't do bleach blonde because I'm really pale, but this model looks pretty pale but can pull off this punk look. But one question: is this look too "teen" for a 21 year old? I'm looking for internships and I'm afraid that this will make me look immature. On the other hand, will it make me look edgy and ambitious? Hmmm...

I think this decision will have to wait for another day! Your thoughts are definitely welcome. :)

I think you would look fine, but only if you condition your hair like crazy so it doesn't get too dried out. Then you would look like a teenager that wants bleach blonde hair but doesn't know how to take care of it.

I wouldn't. But I don't know if I even get a vote.
