Fashionably Late | Out of Season?

*****

Just a quick outfit and opinion post. 

I just realized that I almost always wear dress or skirt; both in my daily life and here in this blog. So, this time I try to give a shot to Jodhpurs pants. All these times, the closest thing to a 'real pant' for me are legging and tights. I even have a little problem with jeans, I can only put it together right in a rainy day or cold night. In my case, the humidity and the heat of my city makes me depend merely on breezy outfit. 

But, Jodhpurs pant is different. It's not as heavy as jeans, and yet, it's not as tight as legging. It's still breezy and I enjoy wearing it almost as much as I enjoy my skirt. Too bad its season was quickly pass. Maybe this is the last time anyone can wear this pant and still considered o.k. (or not?). Well, at least the color is so now.. (no?) 

Ah! Anyway..

About being fashionably late.. in your opinion, how late is fashionably late? 

No, not in terms of 'fashion' but more like the 'party-style fashionably late'. Like, showing up a bit late (just 5 minutes or so) at an event to give the impression that you are busy or a popular person that was held up with other business (via Urban Dictionary). 

Sometime, being late is not a big deal considering the fact that we Indonesian are accustomed to this 'fashionably late' attitude; it can even be perceived as five minute to one hour late here (no, seriously!). 

In the other side, I think this custom is somehow unfashionable anymore. Sometime, I think it's a little bit rude, selfish, and disrespectful.  Seriously, what about not being late at the very first time? What about changing the point of view and see it in a way that being so busy and popular; you have to maintain tight social schedule and can't afford being late for one meeting to another? That's fashionable enough for me.  

It's not like I always on time, but lets say that in my opinion, being fashionably late is a bit out of season.. just like this comfortable Jodhpurs pants; some people might say c'est passé, while some others are still comfortably wearing it. Do you agree or disagree?
