The date that really showcased what was to come and who would have thought the divisiveness over the color of a dress would further fuel the political and social issues.

The dress is something that we will be having to discuss with our descendants to come when they ask about what life was like in the 2010s.

The dress is something that will be hard to explain to those who were young children back then or not even born.
