UNTIL someone took a picture of the picture on their computer. For some reason seeing it that way was, like you described, both unnerving and enlightening at the same time. It was really amusing for me to see the entire internet world get in such a flurry over this dang dress. To me, the only 'un-fun' part were the people who posted things like "who cares its just a dumb dress omg why does everyone care so much if i hear one more thing about this dress I'm gonna lose it" etc etc. Buzzkillers, man!Budget Splurge Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384739378017323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928598130851835729.post-74791580184607393882015-03-19T20:26:49.887-04:002015-03-19T20:26:49.887-04:00I don't see white and gold or black and blue; ...I don't see white and gold or black and blue; I see purple and brown!

It's just a dress, right? But then my office got angry about it and now I'm totally on board with you. Why are we actually fighting about this? Let's just be blown away by the fact that we're all seeing the same thing differently! It's a perfect metaphor for life.<br /><br />P.S. I saw black and blue at first, and then later my eyes switched over to gold and white and now I can't go back.

So hilarious!<br /><br />I LOVE your take on this phenomenon, you didn't take it too far at all. There's a lesson to be learned everywhere in life, and you managed to extract it from a debate about dress colours.

Last night in one photo for about 15 seconds I saw the white and gold dress and thought it was a joke. Then it changed before my eyes. It's incredibly freaky. <br />D.

But I am definitely seeing blue and black, and am so curious to know why some people see it as white and gold!! Really, I am quite as shocked as you are. I need answers.<br /><br />Also, I like your metaphor. Jeneric Generationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04475099676261879337noreply@blogger.com
