all dressed up and no where to go
Q: What do you do when you've been stood up, but you're too fly to go home?
A: I am a planner by nature, so I hate last minute changes. I would have usually thought of the right shoes that are appropriate for the activity, and then built a whole outfit around it given the breathability of the fabric if the weather is hot, or to carry a jacket or scarf should it later get breezy.
Getting stood up sucks. But it happens. Maybe the event got cancelled entirely, or someone you were meeting ran into a traffic jam, or fell ill. It can often feel worse when you're the one causing a cancellation, so hopefully there is empathy.
But regarding what to do with yourself once in this predicament...there are a few options:
- Go home and save your look for another day worthy of such slayage
- Continue with your original plans, alone
- Call around to see if other friends can meet up with you instead
- Do something else and get someone there to document it for you!
How much effort did you put into getting ready? Did you just get off your period and your bloating has subsided and your face cleared up to perfection? Do you really just want photo evidence of your beat face with those pants that got your booty looking oh so right? Is there an exclusive showing or debut you were looking forward to attending? If that's the case, then I'd stay out regardless of who else showed and capture the moment. If it's just any other day that you happened to be extra ready for, you may want to pack it up and try again another time.
What do you think? Do you usually try to make the best of the rest when this happens? Or do you take your ball and go home?
