You've got great cheekbones, so you need to emphasize those. You also look like you have thick hair, like I do. You have to consider that when looking at photos. Not all the cute styles work well with thick hair.
Here's some ideas:

I could get carried away. I love hair styles. I seldom get the same one twice!
Oh those are very cute, Kay! I especially like that layered one. Thanks!
Whatever you do, if you decide to cut your hair, find out first if it'll require a lot of upkeep. I went with a bob. It was ok but then to make it look like it should, you have to blow dry and blow dry and so on. What a pain. It's a longer bob now and I flip it up instead of curling it under. I can no longer wash and dry and be done.
Honestly, I miss my long hair. I know my husband does too. He just didn't get it when I told him that once I turned 51, the long hair had to go. I needed a change more than cutting it just because of age.
Hey, my grandma died at 100 and she had waste length hair. She always wore it in a bun. Nobody ever told her she shouldn't have long hair!
Ha, my grandma had "waist" length hair, not "waste"....see, once you start coloring and cutting your hair, your mind goes!
My grandma had waist length hair too, Rhonda. And wore it in a bun. LOL My head hurts if I wear it up much.
Good point about the upkeep. That's something to consider!
I sort of like this. What do you all think?

Didn't we go through this sometime last year with you? LOL If you're still debating on changing it then I say go for it.
It's hair, it'll always grow back if you don't like it!
*wink*
That's cute, too.
I have mine in a choppy, shaggy, layered thing and I don't have to style it. I always make sure that my cuts are low upkeep.
I get compliments on it, too, even when I don't style it.
So a layered thing might be a good idea.
This one you showed might look drab without styling. Take several ideas along and ask your stylest all kinds of questions about them.
Oh I like them all. I just got several inches chopped off a few weeks ago. I love having shorter hair again, yet I can still pull it out of my face which works great when I'm exercising or just plain sick of it LOL
Colleen I think you'd look fantastic with it short, straight and chic (short as in chin length). You could use a flat iron on it, if need be. I had no idea what that was until Teen daughter started using one, but oh how we love our flat iron around here :)
Getting hair done is like a day at the spa, isn't it?
p.s. I just went and checked out the style you liked, and that looks nice (and easy) too.
I cut my own hair last week. It's a wreck, but I have so much of it, you can't really tell, so whatever. I'm definitely going to have to blog on my Wal Mart season. My point is, C, it can't be worse than this. : )
I got my daughter in a law a flat iron for her birthday that seemed really good. I should get myself one!
Have you ever tried imaging software where you test different styles on a picture of your face? I used it once in a salon a long time ago. I found this website, and it says it is free:

I just bought one of those style haircut magazines in Books A Million because even though I go to the same hairstylist, she sort of got off track with my style! Anyway, on the back cover was this place where you can try colors, cuts and then take that to your stylist.
You also need to determine your face shape.I think you need to keep it below your chin(no bobs.) Since you don't need to color, then you could get it straightened or find a cut to work with the curl in your hair. (Or go try that iron your D-I-L has to see if you want to fool with that.)
I think as we age we have to re-evaluate because you get to looking like that woman who is stuck in the '80s with her leg warmers! My favorite part on What Not to Wear is when Nick does the hair!

If you watch much TV you always see the most beautiful ladies with long sexy hair. The short haired girls are tomboy like and rarly attract any attention. Being an elderly gentleman I still prefer long hair. Something to run your fingers through. When I married Colleen over 36yrs ago she had long beautiful hair that went to the middle of her back. I would still like it that long.
You see what I contend with, friends? My husband calls himself "elderly." AND wants me to look like an aging rock star! LOL
Dave, two words: Lily Munster. Heard of her? She's the wife on the Munsters. She has long hair and she's over 50.
Um, no.
Let me just put it this way. Which one of us is the man here? I'm Dave. Lets see you are Diann. So unless you are a gay I would bet I would be a better JUDGE of beautiful women. LOL
Oh, for heaven's sake, Dave, just buy her a wig. LOL
Now THAT sounds like a great solution, D! LOL
Okay, that comment just scares me with where it could go.
I concede.
She complains about the long hair being hot in the summer, I can't guess how much she would complain about a wig. Also why buy something that you can get for free, that looks like Dolly Parton. Now that is a wig! LOL
Dave is smiling in triumph. LOL But I will never wear hair down to my waist again, even if he thinks it's attractive. LOL Some things just are too scary. LOL
My dear wife is 53, has waist length hair, and it's sexy as hell. For the life of me, I'll never understand why women think they must cut their hair short, at any age. The best physical favor any woman over 40 can do for herself is to grow or keep her hair long. I so relate to Rhonda's husband. Ron
