I went clothes shopping recently at a department store, and had a rather unpleasant experience. Not because the clothes sizes are basically decided at random, or because I hate clothes shopping in general. No, this was because of the newest trend in women's fashion. "Busy" patterns are in. Tight-knit lines, like optical illusions, reign rampant over shirts and blouses and dresses. Diamonds and zigzags and concentric squares and circles over every square inch of every piece of apparel.
I waded in, trying to find a nice solid blue button down shirt and a nice pair of black pants. Ten minutes or less among the pages of an optical illusion book, and I felt ill, even dizzy. My brain literally could not handle the complexity of all those pieces of clothing. The dizziness lasted five minutes after I left the store, and then it finally abated. Maybe I can avoid clothes shopping for the rest of the year...
