Winter Wondering

Hey guys, I need your honest opinion: I’m thinking of either entering today’s look or this one- in the winter wonderland contest, but I’m not sure which one is best. I personally didn’t like the second one THAT much but you guys all seemed to love it so maybe that one? I’ve checked and it isn’t against the rules to enter a look after you’ve already uploaded it, so I might just enter that look. What do you guys think? I love today’s outfit though, the striped jumper almost reminds me of ice skating or something because of the color and the stripes, has some sort of sportsy vibe to it and I’m Dutch, and Dutch people always hope a winter will be cold enough for us to organize the “tour of twelve cities” where ice skaters race through 12 cities over frozen rivers etcetera. So winter always gets me in the mood for ice skating. Which is quite silly because I can’t ice skate at all. I fall flat on my ass within 2 seconds, really. Which reminds me of that one time, at ski camp (haha) where we went skiing in Austria for a week with school. I was probably the very worst skier in my entire class. I think I spent more time lying on my ass than standing on those damned skis. But snow is quite soft to fall in (softer than ice anyways) so I didn’t mind THAT much. Come to think about it, it’s pretty weird that I still love the snow since snow pretty much equals falling flat on my ass if you look at my history. But I do love the snow. I love how it seems to wash the world clean. Right up until it melts and leaves the world even ickier than before, haha. But seriously, I love the snow. I love the sounds the snow makes when you walk through it. Over here we call that “knerpen”, do you guys have a special word for the sound snow makes when your feet crush it? Anyway, I love the knerping of the snow, haha :D And I love looking at the night skies while the snow is falling down, all those white flakes make me feel a bit dizzy in the head and somehow have this soothing effect on me. And I love watching my cats play in the snow of course. The youngest ones always have lots of fun running around, burrying their little kittypaws in the snow.

As for my outfit: layering is key when it comes to cold weather. I’m wearing a sleeveless top, a tshirt, a knit jumper (the blue one, a grey, faux fur lined cardigan (the grey one) a red coat (the red one :D) and a pair of tights, a pair of over the knee socks and a pair of wool mix socks. I’ve never done this tights-socks-socks again thing before, but it certainly kept my feet warm and looked subtly quirky. I’ve been really into socks peeking out of my boots lately I guess.

ANYWAY: tell me what outfit I should enter, this one or this one (click it to check it out)and don’t forget to check out my Olsenboye look (click it to get through) and fave it if you love it!
