Maybe even a cream blush-lipstick combo befitting my soft-pant status. Occasionally, I think about my years living in New York City, when I could dash out the door and have all manner of soft pants and soft-pant-enabling accessories at my fingertips. So it took some convincing for me to believe that New Yorkers, who possibly have more convenient access to shopping than people living most anywhere else, are addicted to online shopping — so much so that it is cited as [a reason](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnI3HXP0TUaHR0cHM6Ly9ueWNmdXR1cmUub3JnL3Jlc2VhcmNoL255Y3Mtc3RhbGxlZC1yZXRhaWwtcmVjb3Zlcnk_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzEwMzEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA2NTI4Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0ODc1NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZTzX7EBlaH91q1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) the city’s retail sector recovery lags that of the rest of the country.
