Many of us have overindulged in online shopping to cope with the uncertainty, bad news, and dramatic changes to daily life we have been on the receiving end of recently. We do what we can, with the hope we can somehow make the heavy situation marginally better in some way, while preparing for more social distancing and the possibility of continued life on lockdown.

Retail therapy is unlikely to solve any actual problems, but it is definitely fun. We tried (and mostly failed) to shop the online sales responsibly, and have assembled a selection of our favorite new pieces for you. From transitional, elevated basics, to cheerful, comfortable dresses, our shopping guide will save you from having a laundry list of returns to make when the lockdown is lifted, or worse, ending up with a whole drawer full of sad, fast fashion sweatpants.

SHOP THE LOOK

Shop Small Whenever Possible, and Send Something Beautiful to Someone You Love

Check out the great sales and gift baskets from your favorite local boutiques. If enough of us make this gesture, small business owners (many of whom are female entrepreneurs our communities wouldn't be the same without) and their employees have a real shot at making it through the next few months. One of our favorite Moms is receiving this sweet Mother’s Day set from San Diego based Graffiti Beach.
