Going back to the darkside

Every fall I darken my hair color to gear up for cooler weather, fall fashion and good times. I love this yearly ritual (I color my hair maybe twice a year) because it is so much fun to do a big change! I'll show ya'll some past "dark hair Sarah looks".. One because it's fun to peruse every last one of your tagged Facebook pics and two because I think this will help me decide just which color I want to go.. Also, please feel free to share your input (but only if it's nice because I take mean hair color comments wayyyy to heart ha!).

I think this is my fav.. 

And here's to hoping that my blonde(ish) highlights will slowly shine through to give my hair that p-erfect ombre look that is all tha rage!!

Got any suggestions friends? Cannot wait to show up at Ann's first birthday this weekend looking like a total stranger to her.. She usually cries when she first sees me anyways because it's been so long.. Now- Lord only knows...
