The Chronicles of the Fashionably Late – A Tale of Outfit Indecision

We all know that one person who is always late to an event.

(And if you don’t, sorry to break it to you… but it’s probably you.)

Now, while some people blame traffic or “last-minute work stuff,” we all know the truth—the real culprit is THE OUTFIT CRISIS.

Here’s how it plays out:

Phase 1: False Confidence

"I already know what I’m wearing. No stress."
Fast-forward to 10 minutes before leaving, and suddenly, that outfit looks like something a 5-year-old picked out in the dark.

Phase 2: The Fashion Show Meltdown

You start pulling out everything you own, trying on five different outfits like you’re hosting Lagos Fashion Week in your bedroom.
Your mirror? Silent, yet judgmental. Your bed? Buried under rejected options. Your friends? "Are you on your way?"

Phase 3: Outfit Decision Fatigue

At this point, you’re out of time, energy, and patience. You either:
A) Wear the original outfit that you swore wasn’t good enough.
B) Call in sick (because at this point, it’s a crisis).
