I went from shoulder-length hair to an a-line/bob just below my ears! A DRASTIC change for me(I haven't had hair this short since grade school! But the cut actually made me look 35 instead of my actual 45 years! My best friend went shorter in stages till she found the right a-line length that looked fantastic on her! You don't necessarily have to jump right in to a shorter cut/style!
She can definitely rock a short or choppy bob. I liked one of the updo's they showed but other than that, I can't even (and don't want to) imagine my hair in these cuts. I think that she can and will look good no matter what she does to that hair. What I DID like were some of the colors she donned in the photos. She always has a great color and/or highlight.
