Mini fashion show & my new 'do

I got my hair cut & colored on Friday.  I needed a change - something lighter, something more fun for the new me.  I love the new highlights and the bangs!  The bangs are a little Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, but I think it works.  I have a huge head with huge forehead, so I need something to help with all that face :)  I also finally wore my mint skinnies, and, of course, they are now too big - still wearable, thankfully.  I also went out to dinner on Friday with my mom and her friend, and I wore the skimpiest outfit I have without feeling uncomfortable at all.  It was hot as hell, so I didn't want a ton of clothing.  I'd have to say that that is the best thing about this summer - being able to wear a tank & shorts without any self consciousness and being outside without sweating to death.  The other photo is me in my largest jeans.  I fit in half of them now.  I'm going to keep them forever as a reminder.  It's hard to imagine that at one point they were totally fitted on me, and it wasn't that long ago.  I'm down from a size 20 jeans to a size 6.  It's mind boggling sometimes.  Focusing on these things while my weight keeps stalling, trying to maintain patience for these last 8 pounds while working on increasing my fitness.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

The jeans I hope I NEVER have to wear again

Thanks! I'm so happy with it. I refuse to go shorter, so this is exactly what I needed :)

I know what you mean.  I'm not in a hurry to cut my hair either.  :)

I love fun, short hair styles. My basketball head and overly thick hair make them impossible for me :) Plus my hubs would cry. He's a hair guy
