How to buy stuff online without your parent's knowing?

band t-shirts, skirts that are "too short" because they don't go past the knees, and stuff that has too much black for my mother's liking.

Ohhhh, man I can relate to this. My mother was mad that I didn't dress enough "like a girl" growing up - band tees, all black everything, etc. Nothing was pretty enough for her tastes but eventually she accepted my weird mall goth phase and just let it go.

...it's not a phase at all tbh, if I didn't have to dress in work-appropriate clothes (read: SECRETARY ATTIRE) all the time I'd probably live in a pair of tripp pants and a cape or something. I'm terrible and a bad example but yeah. I get you.

Whatever her reasoning is, it's stupid, haha. As I'm sure you know. Nothing wrong with any of the stuff you listed.
 
Yep, a prepaid credit card is your best bet. As for delivery, you can ask a friend if you can have it delivered to their address, and then pick it up from them in person when it arrives. If not, send it to your home address. If it's a small enough package and you don't order it with express shipping, they may leave it in your mailbox. If it's big, it'll be brought to your door. You just gotta hope you're there to answer it. If your parents do find out that way, it's better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. ;)

Since it's from etsy, you should be able to communicate with the buyer directly, and they can probably give you a good estimate as to when it should arrive.

You could also maybe look into getting a PO Box at your post office? I've never had one so I'm not sure what kind of ID or what-have-you that you might need to set one up, but it could be worth a shot.
