The prompt is 'Seasons'. I chose Autumn because of the red, gold and orange leaves falling from the trees. Now for the metaphor stretching bit:
Before
the red/orange/gold falling bit
After
Yes, I woke up on Sunday morning and decided to cut the long curly tresses OFF! I got my hands on my husbands electric hair clippers and the rest is history. I emailed my Mum the photos and this is what she said:
Sweet baby ***** and all the saints!!!!!!!!! We thought you'd vanished down the plughole and your hair got caught!!!!!!!!!!! Bit of a shock though to see you as an 8 year old again! Do you have nits?
Nooooooo, no nits! So, rebellion or mid-life crisis?

I think change is good, you look gorgeous! :) x
Whoa! Drastic but it really suits you. I find that there is some kind of weird element of freedom with short hair. Love it!
I think you really can carry off the short cut, well done to you
VERY drastic but it suits you :-D
Yes you were rebellious by emailing your mum the picture heheh That made me giggle! Why did you want to cut your hair though?
Well, I like it. Short hair is also really liberating. Enjoy!
@Marylin, thanks :)
@SheMeans Well & @Foodie, yeah, I do feel 'free'!
@TheMadHouse, thanks, I love it myself!
@Nickie, I have been threatening to do it for a long time, I was so fed up with the high maintenance long curly thing and all I ever did was shove it in a pony tail!
Thanks for commenting.

Beautiful! Change is a good thing! And a little rebellion now and again isn't such a bad thing.
Fabulous! Nothing like a new look to get you going! I really like the link to the Gallery as well! Mine very cheeky! Tara may slap my legs!!
Oooh I think it suits you x
Okay, I thought that second picture was a plate of hair with a fork and a knife next to it and you were showing us your breakfast. HA HA! (don't eat that, ew.)
Oh my gosh! I almost spit out my water!
I think you look great! Getting your hair cut can put you in a great mood with a renewed spring in your step! Good for you and I bet that is much easier to deal with!
@Heather, totally agree, it has been a long time since I did something 'unexpected' :D
@jfb, she may put us both standing in the corner, but we can whisper to each other there!
@Cass, thanks :)
@jillsmo, lol, I just scrolled up for a look and it looks like a massive dust bunny, eewwww!
@TheHenrys lol, sorry about that :D My neighbour nearly fell out the door of her car today when she saw me!
Thanks for commenting:)

Jen GOOD FOR YOU, you look so much younger and I love that face!!!!
I did the exact same thing as you know and doesn't it feel GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!
go you!!!
I love it!! Good for you..it wasn't rebellion nor a mid life crisis..It was the act of a powerful woman taking charge!! :)
I tried this look once and liked it. You look great :)
OMG you really took the bull by the horns, or in this case the razor!! You look fab and Sooo much younger :) Enjoy the liberating shortness!
Well done Jen, you are looking very good. I would never have the guts!
I alwasy like a different interpretation for the gallery. Normally it is me not towing the line!

Whoa! What a change!! I'm going with rebellion, by the way!
It's gonna feel so weird when you go to wash your hair and even weirder when you go to brush it! You may have just "shaved" a ton of time off your get-ready routine!!
@Sandra, you are partly responsible for my surge of madness after your recent hairdo :D
@Kathleen, *whispers* it does feel a bit like that!
@Borgerour & Andra, thanks:)
@Michelle, hehehe, JFB57 has a brilliant entry that goes under the radar! Well, someone has to!
@DaniG, yep, and will forgive you the pun as you are probably right!
Thanks girls :D

Love it! I cut my hair very short probably about 6 months ago. I don't think I could go back now because it is so lo-maintenance. I think mid-life crisis and rebellion go hand in hand. I think when we reach mid-life we don't have to care as much about all of the maintenance that goes into female foofooness (yeah, it's a word)...and that is rebellious in itself!
Wow, you definitely look like a woman who knows where she's going now. What a brave and fab transformation! Any more changes planned I wonder?
O.M.G. It is FAB!
Great interpretation of the prompt! Looks fab!
Fantastic work. I think it looks great. I wish I had your courage!
@Lynn, totally agree and if everyone else hated it I would still love it:)
@BlueSky, no more changes that I can think of right now anyway:)
@Fran & Tilly, thanks:)
@Domestic, it took me about 2 years to get up the courage to do this!
Jen
Wow! How brave but, goodness, didn't it pay off? You look gorgeous (you did before too!). Fab!
Thats a drastic cut, but it really suits you xx
Wow look's great. Lovely to meet you and thanks for popping in to mine.
i love it! it suits you so much. now time for a colour change. maybe like me, you can go pillarbox red for christmas?
nice post. x
But....But....But... your lovely curls????
Still..fair play to you for your absolute bravery.I bow at your feet in total awe. The "short" haircut I had for the ball was the shortest I've gone in years and I thought I was so brave!!
oh yeah....a colour change might really make another statement!!
Good on ya Jen..you brave lady.
xx Jazzy

@Jazzy & CatLady, whoa on the colour change too, one thing at a time!!
@Christine, Hamme & AllAbout - thanks:)
Jen
Pretty gal...it's lovely to properly see your face XXX
I cut mine short a while back too and it is so much easier. You will have one less thing to worry about.
I love it! What does the husband think?
Wow! You mean business. I don't know if I'd have the guts to do that myself but it suits you and makes you look younger.
Very low maintenance now, that's for sure!
Well done, no go make your mother a cup of tea, poor woman :)
my friend done the same thing and she has never looked better, yes it was mid life crisis but it worked for her lol
i think its lovely jen, sometimes yiu need to just do something different or youl go insane
lovely job xx
I love your Mum's comments! I don't think I could do it, my hair will probably be long until forever!
I have always wanted to do that! very cool, and I LOVE your mum's comments :)
NOOOOOO!
I said no;)
