It's too hot for a waistcoat but, like you Cari, I am wearing a virtual one. Oh wouldn't it be wonderful? I remember 1966 so well, the excitement, tension, holding my breath till I thought I'd burst, then the jubilation, screams of joy and disbelief when we knew 'it was all over'.
But, oh God, if we do make it through, Sunday's going to rack up the tension to a whole new level! Help!!!

It was the first thought in my head when I woke this morning. I said to myself, "it's the semi final tonight". I wish I did have a waistcoat, I'd wear it with pride. ⚽⚽

I will wear a waistcoat when we go through on Sunday - yes when! The hot weather will not deter me even though I might not be able to wear much else 😉

I've still got an old multi-coloured woollen one which I bought in the Sweater Shop years ago. I'll wear that.
Come on, England....

My OH has been routing around his wardrobes looking for his favourite waistcoat I just hope I haven't sent it to charity shop.?
No one can wear a waistcoat like Gareth Southgate can they ?

Lovely to see them in their 19th century (and earlier) waistcoats, so elegant on the right figure. I'm hunting around for my crinoline. Everything crossed!

I shall be wearing a virtual waistcoat, but it will not be too tight, will not have acres of shirt showing between it and the top of my trousers and will never, ever, have the bottom button done up!! 😁. Go, Gareth! You epitome of sartorial elegance you!
