Amy, I think you're adorable any way you wear your hair, but I think your cut frames your face better, and is more stylish and neater. I usually keep my hair that length (maybe a tinge shorter) and it's so much easier to maintain and always looks full. You can wear it up or in a ponytail too. You look BEAUTIFUL! Gawd, if all your co-workers don't like it, I agree, they ARE jealous or don't have the guts to cut their hair! We're the majority and the majority wins. So there!
