Posh Docs

Two weeks ago I thought winter was finally over and could even see some grass while walking to school! But then the snow chaos showed its ugly face again, and now it's cold and snowy again... This means I'll have to keep wearing my doc martens for at least another month, and even though I love them, they're not the most elegant shoes...
