I have two opinions on the matter. First, I LOVE the red on you, you have the perfect skin tone for it, and it really brings out your eyes. Further on that thought, I've tried to go red but it NEVER sticks in my blondish-brownish hair, so a little part of me wants to live vicariously through you ;)
On the other hand, embracing your natural hair color shows confidence in yourself and expresses that you don't need silly things like a dye job or an allover tan to be a beautiful and good person. The lack of maintenance is a huge bonus, and it's also one less dangerous chemical for curious baby hands to discover. Even better than all of that? It's almost impossible to tell when a blonde begins to gray.
I voted for both :) so do whatever you jolly well please with your hair. I'll still admire you and adore your yarn just the same, even if you shave off chunks of your hair and dye it in unicorn-puke pastels.
(Just FYI, the yarn you sent made it here just fine; you did a fabulous job, as usual :) Trying to find time to take and post proper pictures on Ravelry, but can't seem to put my Carson swatch down long enough to do so!)
The red makes you look spunky and younger. And you have the porcelain skin to pull it off. I say red!

You have beautiful eyes and I love your dimples!!
I understand your sister's perspective because I have a blonde niece who dyes her hair black and it looks unnatural to me. However, as a random stranger who's only bias is my own personal taste, I say go RED!
Whatever you decide, you're the one who has to live with it, but consider this... You only have to look at yourself when you groom. Your sister has to look at you all the time, and isn't there something sadistically satisfying about annoying one's sister?
The Red is way sexier. I think the blonde is very pretty. I know that new moms like to feel sexy so I voted RED :)

You know, the red does look really pretty, but because I am your sister and know you aren't a redhead, there is something that seems to foreign to me about it. Like you photoshopped red hair onto your picture. :) I think so few people have naturally beautiful blonde hair that you should embrace it, and then go red when you start going grey. Next year or so. ;)

........some people just really don't have enough to do with their time........you keep a good attitude, tho. Good way to handle the comments. I sure most people MEAN well, but really.....keep your thoughts to yourself. Not everything we think, needs to be said...
