A Zillennial grapples with their mortality thanks to a viral Depop listing.
I turn 27 tomorrow, meaning Im officially in the trenches of my late 20s.
I was stunned and felt ancient.
There isnt much else that makes me feel like a victim of that pesky thing known as time.
As aMillennial-Gen Z cusper, I usually play devils advocate between the two colliding demographics.
Get off my lawn!
And take your outrageous secondhand shop price tags with you!
Theyre micro-mini, leopard print, and overlayed with sequins.
Theyre the shorts youd likely style over fishnet tights with a black tunic and statement necklace in 2008.
While the shorts are… fine, the staggering ask of $298 for them has me in shambles.
The pricing, albeit unbelievable, reflects that for the sellers clothing supply, theres a star-studded demand.
Theethics behind reselling siteslike Depop, Poshmark, and eBay have been debated in recent years.
Yes, its eco-friendly and fun to hunt down cool secondhand pieces.
Perhaps, worse though, is that it works.
Of course, fashion aesthetics are cyclical.
Everything comes back around.
These leopard sequin shorts are emblematic of that.
