A new look--that's now a bit old

So a few weeks back I had a conference to attend in Georgia. Before I headed to the conference I had a few meetings, and for all these events I wanted to put my best foot forward. I decided one way to do that was to get a hair cut. My hair had been getting pretty long over the last few months, and although I liked it, it took more time in the morning to style it, which led to many braids and pony tails. I felt that cutting it off would help curb that, at least to some extent. It also seemed like a good idea with the crazy heat we have been having this summer. Although I did this in early August, here are some pics of the old and new looks.
