How to Arrive Fashionably Late {Mama Says}

Being on time means you are dependable (like at work, HA!). But being fashionably late can be successfully done in some instances. Here are some guidelines to consider, but remember it has a lot to do with common sense and consideration of others.

• If you have a role in the event, be on time. Example: If you are supposed to do magic tricks for the group before dinner, gather up the top hat, rabbit and other magician props and be on time. 
• If it's a time flexible event and you want to arrive late, chose a reasonable time...three hours is not fashionable. A half hour is usually good. Don't making being late your trend. 
• Arrive in good form. When you come late, all eyes may be on you when you do arrive (you attention craving girl). Be put together and calm so people won't think you just got mugged on the street! 
• If you are the last there, don't be the first to leave! Mingle for a good amount of time and add to the energy of the event. Making a cameo appearance makes people think you don't care. 
• And finally, never be late to a wedding or funeral (especially your own).
