Post-pandemic shopping? (girl, head, smell, beauty)

[CNYC]

Looking into buying black diamond huggie hoop earrings 7mm.

I am a guy by the way.

Uh, we're in the middle of stay at home orders for a infectious disease pandemic. Now is not the time to casually browse in crowded stores.

Definitely this ^^^. I've been eating out of boredom plus my gym has been closed.

Living in SW Florida, we mostly wear the same things all year. The only difference is I wear a little more black in my wardrobe than I do in the summer. I have very few long sleeved tops. If we have a cooler day (rare) I have a lot of cute jackets & sweaters. I rarely wear jeans in the summer, especially skinny jeans as I find them way too warm when it's hot & humid.

The sad part is 50% of Americans don't agree with you or are not willing to help save the lives of other Americans.

Going to Target is way more important.

Now that's a really interesting priority, and a good example of the kind of business that should be allowed to open right away. Nurseries don't tend to have crowds, and purchases would be great for people sheltering at home who spend time tending their gardens.

That's me, too, with T J Maxx.

But it might stop and even kill someone you could infect. Sometimes it's about doing things to help "other people"...you know..society as a whole.

Well, as we all know, if there's one thing that stops the spread of an infectious disease, it's bravado.

I do my weekly shopping as normal, I just wear a mask. Went and got a cut at the barbers. Feel relieved and handsome again. Live in fear if you want.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I have a closet full of spring tops that NO ONE has seen.
