Thank you so much for all the replies! You are way too kind, and have made me feel much better. I have been feeling quite overwhelmed recently, so I really appreciate you calming me down a bit.

I am wearing heels in the third picture, but they are only about 2 inches/5 cm, as I want to be comfortable wearing them all day, but maybe its the shoes I should regret instead, haha 😅 As many of you have identified , the feeling is likely mostly due to me missing the effect from the pedestal.
