Walked to work in that this morning! 🙂

Outside at the moment it is like someone has tipped a massive slurpee over the city. Slush everywhere. As soon as I heard about the impending snowstorm, I ducked up to Century 21 (it is very dangerous that this place is in such close proximity to work) and picked up the most comfy pair of…
