I had the amazing opportunity to receive a Drastic Makeover yesterday in Dallas that will be featured in a local Dallas Magazine titled La Mode. I was so open to the chance for some major changes, so I jumped in without any hesitation. I love my current hairstylist, and she always does a great job, but the opportunity to be totally made over without spending a penny, and be featured in a magazine to boot, I just couldn’t pass it up! Here are a couple of before and after shots, I will receive some of the official photos from the photographer after the magazine goes to press.
Before:
After:
I never realized what a Jay Leno chin I have, lol! Oh, and thanks Nikon D5000 for showing all of my blemishes!
And Another:
I can’t remember the last time I had hair this dark, or this short! My husband was not a happy camper at first, but the new look is slowly growing on him. I enjoy the hairstyle, even though I feel more “secure” with longer hair, but hey, it grows, and for the time being, it’s something fun and different.
I have not only received a new look as far as hair and some makeup tips, but I am currently working on losing 30 pounds so that I feel healthier and feel better about myself as well. I will post periodic updates on my weight loss as it progresses, I have currently lost 7 pounds since I started at the end of December, and hope to reach my goal by April. I haven’t started my Couch to 5k training plan yet, but bright and early Monday morning, I will begin. So, if you feel so inclined, feel free to tweet, comment, or facebook me and keep me accountable! My husband is also on a big journey this year as he aims to lose 100 lbs. He is already down 14, I’m so proud of him, I have confidence that we can do this together!
So, what do you think about my new look, be honest, I can take it!
Thanks to Blaine’s Color, and Rachelle, for the wonderful makeover, and thanks to La Mode Magazine for allowing me to be a part of your upcoming issue!

I love it. I don’t think your husband’s “butch” term is right at all. You look adorable!
LOVE it! looks so good and it shows in your smile! You look SOOO happy. I know the feeling about having your long hair be your security blanket, I am the same way, but really lovely! Well Done!
I think you look beautiful both ways, but I like the blonde long hair on ya better!
but you’re right… it grows back so change is good every once in awhile!
I love it!! It’s a great look!!
Honestly, I need an outdoor picture to compare.
Let me preface with, you don’t look hideous or anything. You’re cute no matter what color your hair is. But I think I like the blonde hair better. Maybe it’s the purple that’s throwing me off.
And you definitely don’t have a Leno chin.
You are gorgeous no matter what! I like longer hair too. I cannot wait to see the professional photos!
Your new style and colour is stunningly gorgeous! I absolutely love it on you and it makes you look so much younger! Hmmm…I may need to fly to Dallas for a makeover…..
I think you are super gorgeous!!! Love the new look!
you look gorgeous!
I think the color makes your skin tone really shine and your eyes stand out more. I do like it a little longer overall but the swingy bangs make your cheekbones look fantastic! If you end up grow it out, you should totally keep those layers…
Your look is awesome! I know the feeling when the hair gets chopped off! I always feel kind of naked~ missing something………I do like your new look and if you really can’t adjust to it- hair does grow! Seriously, your new look is stunning and very uptown! Glad it’s growing on your hubby, as well.
I LOVE IT, Liz! It’s very dramatic, but very becoming on you. I really, really like it. Such a fun treat!
It looks amazing….it’s very fashionable and it is winter so dark is a plus!
I love you with darker hair!!!
I love it!! You look phenomenal woman!!
Very cute! It always takes me a week or so to get used to a new style. Good luck with the weight loss. I’ve done the C25K program twice now, and I am definitely NOT a runner.
Looks great! wow! makes me want to run to the beauty shop.
You look fabulous!!!
As always you look beautiful. Must be something in the air with us all going dark. I think it looks amazing
I love the color and cut. You look fantastic!!
Holy freaking cow Lizzy! You are gorgeous both ways but if I saw you on the street, I totally would say, that’s a different person. Wow. Gorgeous gorgeous chica!
Wowza……HotMomma.com! Check out my gorgeous SIL! I for one love it! How fun was that experience!
