I never thought I was vain.  I really didn’t.  But I am sad to report that I am among the worst offenders when it comes to being overly concerned about my appearance.   It is weird.   I have tried to find the perfect haircut over the years that lends itself to always looking right with a minimum amount of fuss.

Let’s do a quick tour of the Looks of Beth Ann.

Baby Beth Ann 

During grade school aka The Very Awkward Years I sported several different styles ranging from long and stringy to pixie cut.   Here are a couple samples of what I could find.

Then came high school and trying to figure out who the heck I was.

Clowning around with my brother, Mark!

College came and I got another new look.

Marriage and babies followed and the decade of the perm was in .  I hung onto that look just a little too long.

Then there was a brief stint at being a biker babe clad in leather–all to raise money for a church –it was not a good look—I was way too blonde and it was way too short.

At one point, when Chris and I moved to Iowa, we figured that this was a good look for us.

Last year on a trip to the beach I thought I had finally hit upon the right look for me!

This past week I was whining to Chris that I hated all my pictures that I had on Facebook and especially on my blog.  I really wanted a good one where I looked happy, had a nice smile and had a good hair day.   He made the magic happen and I finally have a picture I absolutely love.

This one is going to stay around for a long time.  I may never change it.  I am still vain but at least I have a decent picture now.
