    i like you as a blonde... but what is your natural color? you might want to make the blond a bit less platinum?

    I'm a fan of the brunette, personally...I think that it looks great with your skin tone...the blonde color kind of washes you out a bit more. Also...its getting close to the winter months, so going darker will make you look a bit more tan overall.

    Out of those pics I voted Burnette - however I showed FI - he often comments on females hair colour and he says you would look best as a red head - have you ever gone red?

    I voted brunette. I might be biased because I have the same coloring and similar eye color as you and I stick to dark brunette. I think that the contrast is really nice, especially with your light eyes.

    Brunette!! So pretty.  I also think you would look great as a red head, btw.  Something lighter than the color you have now.

    somewhere in the middle - like a dark blonde with more dimension than the platinum.  I think that modified mousey / natural is the way to go.

    as mrsmartin mentioned about the side note of red hair. i agree ifyou went with a redbrown (in hairstyling world you would look fabulous as a 4RB or 5RB.... 4 is darker then 5). it would compliment your skin tone really well, and would make your eye colour just pop! plus in mousy brown hair most people have more of a hint of red in it then ashy blonde. so my vote is brunette, or a redishbrunette.

    Brunette. I think the blonde is too blonde. What about throwing in some highlights for some multi-dimensionality?

    I commented on the other post, but I'll repost here. Brunette! Blonde makes you look washed out. Maybe you could get some super subtle highlights to break up the darkness if that's what you would be concerned about.

    The brunette is definitely better for your eyes and brows.  The blonde is good, but brunette is better.

    I too like the brunette. I agree that it is much better with your skin tone. You could always do some highlights!

    I definitely love the brunette. It works great on your skin tone and gives you color. I think the blonde makes you look washed out.

    Brunette with red low lights might also look great on you!

    Brunette! I think the blonde hair kind of washes you out a bit. The blonde makes your eyes seem bluer but the darker hair makes them stand out more I think (better contrast) and the darker color goes better with the undertones of your skin.

    Definitely the brunette. ;) Personally I'd go for more of a carmel-highlighted brown (closer to your "mousey" natural color--I can see how that would suit your face!), but if you like the really bright, vibrant red/violet the current shade of brunette totally works!

    Brunette really accentuates your amazing blue eyes. BTW, your brunette looks a little red on the picture, which is amazing regardless.

    You look waaay better as a brunette.

    Blonde washes you out & makes your face look harsh. Your eyes pop & your features look so feminine and pretty with your darker hair!! Brunettes with bright blue eyes are so hot :)

    I'm mousey brown too! I hate it - but no one knows it because I color it all the time - every time it's different which is fun.  I used to do the super blonde thing, but then went towards red and now I'm kind of red-brown. 

    I like your hair darker - it makes your eyes stand out more to me.

    The brunette definitley brings out your eyes and goes better with your skin tone. If you want to do blonde maybe try adding some warmer highlights or go with warmer all over color.

    i can relate! my natural color is mousy brown too. it looks like the brown you chose in the pics has a real pop to it, i voted for it over the blonde because while both look beautiful the brown makes your eyes stand out sooooooo much.

    Brown hair and blue eyes is the best combo. It looks very unique! I agree with another poster who said you would also look good as a red head. So many people dye their hair blonde and to me I think it just looks fake and unoriginal when most people do it(no offense bottle blondes). Red heads are brunettes are gorgeous to me though when they have blue eyes.

    I like the brunette more.  You look great as a blonde but if you are undecided why dont you go a bit darker with the blonde?
