I have found it easy and successful to shop online... [View all]

Mostly, it is very successful and I keep and like the item I ordered. Sometimes I return it (easily). I have a mailing service nearby enforcing social distancing in the store. Return bags are usually pretty easy for returning items.

I have bought shoes, a nightgown, underwear, and leggings successfully online. I've returned quite a few but it hasn't been a hassle.

If you can't get out, know your size and carefully read about and look at your product (e.g. zappos) you can get a fairly good idea of the item.

I have had to be more realistic about my size, requiring a tape measure and more careful about the product material. But even this fraught exercise has been pretty successful with me. I now know that I am no longer a size 14, but now a 16. OK. It is not the end of the world.

Now about my hair and not having it styled...
