I think you would definitely be able to pull that off.
It is a going to be a bit dramatic because you have such dark hair. Maybe I would go a shade or two lighter than the blonde for your highlights. And then gradually get lighter. I actually was a blondie for awhile. My natural hair color is dark brown and I had to go to a medium blonde first. Once a month I got my hair dyed lighter and lighter and the color changed to a nice light golden blonde
BUT if you want to do it just like it is on the picture that would work to. Make sure you can have someone who knows what they're doing or a professional do your highlights. Sometimes going light over dark does not work especially if you attempt it by yourself. I know from experience! Oh, and layers would be good too! They'll give it more edge and frame your face a little bit. Plus it will also add volume.

However, be prepared to use a TON of hairspray and you will have to straighten your hair literally every single day. [ Sima's advice column | Ask Sima A Question ]
