The debate is over. The dress that had the Internet booking eye appointments is … *drumroll* … black and blue.We’re super sorry, Team White and Gold. Take one last moment to think the dress looks like something Donald Trump designed. On Thursday, a vicious debate over the color of a lace and synthetic, body-hugging dress…
The entirety of Twitter has officially gone insane in what is almost definitely a master act of trolling over the color of some dress posted on BuzzFeed today.
