Is Darker Better??

On Saturday, I left the three kids at home with Chris and went to get my hair done. Simply getting out on my own was a wonderful treat! Thanks Honey!

I decided that I needed a big change. This past summer I took the plunge and got a cute little bob cut. Now I was ready for a color change as well. (It is possible that I may have been urged to do so more because of certain pieces of hair turning a certain 'silver-ish' color)
Umm...ya.
Anyways, here's a picture of me back in the summer with the new hair cut with my natural hair color:


Here's a picture I took earlier today with the new color:


I'm not too sure how I feel yet. I do love the color, but it's quite a change for me. I'm trying to decide if I should lighten it up a bit. Any suggestions??

P.S: As I'm typing this I noticed that I'm actually wearing the same shirt in both pictures. I promise, this was totally coincidental! I did not actually mean for that to happen. Hahaha! How embarrassing.... I do own more than one shirt! I thought about changing and taking the picture again, but that would require a little too much effort :)
