Lindsey, you have such pretty coloring that you can get by with a short cut where some with very light hair can't. I like the shorter hair on you too. You're a cutie, and the short hair just gives you a more perky, fun look than the longer hair does.
Being small framed as you are, you don't want to have heaps of long hair overpowering you... I wish I had your size to work with!
