    Nah, they aren't the tight kind, very slouchy. Although, I do have to keep stopping to pull 'em up.

    Which is not the whole new sophisticated me I want to portray.

    I am actually considering buying ballet pumps. If Victoria Beckham can give up skyscraper heels, so can I.

    But I take it you haven't got huge bunions like she has. :rotfl:

    I think she has to, for her feet.

    The slouchy thing is good, when you pull them up you give a flattering line of thigh, the thing is to look vague while you are doing it...not furiously tug at them and look embarrassed. IMO.

    I think that yours might be just a tad sexier.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Don't know much about them I'm afraid. Try googling it. And, if necessary, see your GP? I don't know if you can 'head them off' so as to speak!
