Yes I was! I kept cringing and when we went into town I wore huge sunglasses and kept my head down

Kept thinking "thank God there isn't a MN paparazzi"

But they look sooooo nice and make my legs look lovely and long and thin! I'm sat in cool-ish office too at work, so not bad. I wouldn't wear these at home chasing DS around the house. I'd wear my 3 inch wedges
