Changes

Since having my adorable son, I have not been feeling very good about myself mainly because my body still hasn't gotten back to normal.  I had recently cleaned out my closets and gotten rid of my maternity clothes (I know I was a little hasty in getting rid of them) which only left my pre-pregnancy clothes.  Needless to say trying to squeeze into them tends to be such a chore and I end up with a muffin top which really doesn't look good when your shirts have gotten a little snug as well.  Oh the humiliation!  Thankfully, my hubby is being so good to me and letting me pick up a few new outfits that will actually fit a lot better.

Another change I was really wanting was a new hairstyle.  I found a couple of really cute styles, but I'm not sure how they would look on me.  I have decided against coloring my hair with highlights mainly because 1-I am too cheap to keep it up, 2-I would have to wait forever and a day to grow my hair back out only to chop it to get rid of the highlights and 3-I surprising prefer my natural color anyway.  Below are two photos of hairstyles I was thinking of.  They are basically the same style except one has bangs and has been teased where as the other one is flat and simple.  Okay everyone I need your opinion on which hairstyle to go with.  If you don't like either of them, let me know what you think would actually look good on me.
Thank you everyone for your expertise!  
I look forward to seeing what you have to say!

Hey Amie,first of all, your baby is so stinking cute! as for the hairstyle, I would say no bangs. With a new baby, and a little girl, I would say go for simpler. I decided to go for a change a few months ago, and got bangs, and a week later I hated them, it made getting ready harder and they just became a pain because I was always trying to get them out of my face. :-) but both hair cuts are super cute. I keep thinking I want to chop my hair off, but I cant decide on a new do. I may steal your idea and get opinions!!

no bangs, i think. just because you will want to keep brushing them out of the way. but if that doesn't bug you, i do think the bangs would actually look really cute on you. so if you're brave, then i change my vote to bangs. :)
btw, they look basically the same so it just depends on if bangs bug you or not.
also, give yourselft lots of time to fit back ingto your old clothes. it took 9 months to put it all on, give it 9 months to come off. some of my pre-preggo pants still don't fit. it's been 19 months. but all my weight gain is gone. so, oh well.

Amy, I'm going to for total honesty here....the haircuts are identical. They really are. The only difference is they are styled different. If the brunette wanted "bangs" like the blonde, she wouldn't have to cut them, she would just have to comb her hair different. But either style of the haircut is cute, and would look cute on you. The bonus is you could style it with bangs one day and without bangs another day. Kudos for not coloring your hair anymore too. I think you have a great natural color.
