H sent this to me this morning! So crazy. The brain is so fascinating. Late last night, I figured it was something like this because it would change back and forth frequently. I noticed it especially went to blue if I had been looking at blue, too.

I am so fascinated by this. I originally saw white and gold, but now I see blue and black

I've never seen it as anything but white & gold, which kind of disappoints me. I want to see the shape-shifting dress!!

I saw it as balck and blue only once. Every other time it's been white and gold. It is very cool!

You're all welcome to come stare at my magical dog, so you can see the blue dress.

This is so fascinating to me, especially the way our eyes and brain interact to interpret what we're seeing. I thought for sure G would see blue/black like DH and I, but he said white and yellow. Crazy kid.

This was a hot debate at work today. In a design office, this is bound to happen.

But...the switch happened to me and another guy who were firmly in the white/gold camp. It was freaky. We were looking at it on a computer next to windows. I am sure it had something to do with the natural light. We both had the "switch" at the same time and it as freaky! I went back to another computer not near a window and saw white/gold again.

Crazy. I am just fascinated by this.

I've finally seen it as blue and black. It always goes back to white and gold though. This really is fascinating to me!
