In the short time period between getting home and going out again to the football, I had such a dilemma about what to wear... having never been to a footy match before, but opted for a very blue ensemble with these Reiss shorts that I hadn't worn yet, and a 1960s vintage top. I had to wear the little scarf because I'm getting a sore throat from all the paint fumes in the house.

We had a lovely time before hand soaking up the atmosphere, with 28,828 spectators the match was almost a sell out, and the majority of the crowd were supporting team GB.
Even the police officers were in the spirit of things.
We were playing Canada (they won).

And flags were passed up into the crowd to pass across them
I even got rather patriotic myself

The light was lovely as we left, and even though we lost, there was still a general feeling of happiness amongst the crowd.
I enjoyed my first football match, and I enjoyed getting to see an Olympic event in my hometown even more.

How great to be part of the Olympics! Glad you enjoyed it. You look fab, love that little top. xxx
What fun and great to see some of the stadiums being so full too, I know from watching some of the coverage that hasn't always been the case with many of the London stadiums and events! The only football I've ever seen was a York City match when I was like 10 should probably get around to going to another but this time and American soccer version haha.
Excellent! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Those legs of yours!!!!
I'm loving the Olympic atmosphere...it's everywhere and I think Blighty has done a tremendous job.
Have a lovely week.

I've never been to ANY sporting match EVER and I care not a jot. I've been loving the track and field events and the swimming. The atmosphere there looks great though, nice to see a lovely smiley policewoman too!
ps: your outfit is adorable!!
Your suggestions are always inspiring.
You looked a treat! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I used to love going to footie matches so that must have been electric! xxx
I love your outfit. That vintage top is fabulous. I've never been to a football match either, but then again it's not that big here. I went to my first netball game recently, though and had a great time.
How fun! Congrats on your first football match. It looks like a blast!
