Unfashionable

There are a several things in my life that make me think, "Man, I'm an embarrassment." Especially when it comes to fashion and beauty. My family could tell you many, many stories about my fashion failures over the years (of course it was always to impress the boys, starting when I was 4 years old and madly in love with Bill Murray). I've even shown Tyson my pictures of high school and he said, "If I had met you then, I probably wouldn't have dated you." MY OWN HUSBAND SAID THAT! Good grief! And according to his sister Macie, "Tyson became trendy after he got married."

Well, the point to this is that I'm still trying to work on improving the way I look. Tyson has helped a lot, I admit it. I have a much better understanding of how browns and blacks can look good together as well as how to pluck my eyebrows. For the past while I've been trying to figure out how to do my make up better and I've experiemented a little more on my hair (which generally my hair doesn't change that much no matter what I do to it).

So, I got my hair cut yesterday. (Speaking of being an embarrassment...I feel sheepish taking a picture of myself just to put on my blog...I mean, do you smile at yourself in the picture when obviously no one else is around while I take my own personal photo shoot to get a decent picture that I'm not TOTALLY ashamed to put on the internet.) Anyhow, here's the picture of my new hair cut.

It's pretty plain and not exactly what I planned on. I like it, but don't love it. Unfortunately I think it looks better in the picture than when I look in the mirror. Anyhow, if anyone has makeup "know how", I'm more than willing to take the advice. I mostly need help with trying to get rid of darker circles under my eyes, tricks to make my eyes look better in general, etc.. (Wow, I almost feel like I'm writing an advertisement or asking Dear Abby.)
