Woman's Mirror Selfie Is A Viral Optical Illusion. Do You See It?

On Sunday, Marisol Villanueva from Spain posted an innocent mirror selfie on Twitter. All she wanted to show was how she paired two clashing patterns - vertical and horizontal stripes. But Twitter couldn't help but notice something strange happening in the photos. It wasn't her clothes.

The woman wore a horizontal-striped oversized sweater with black track pants that had a vertical pinstripe running down the middle. Twitter ignored her clothes and promptly pointed out the photos made her legs appear really skinny, like really.

Can you see it?

The pinstripe on the pants made her perfectly normal legs look like something that belonged to a cartoon character.

Twitter immediately noticed the optical illusion. Some even expressed concern about her health

Here's the explanation behind the bizarre appearance
 

It's when the pictures ain't open and you only see a little part of the legs

Go ahead and open both the photos to see how your mind was playing tricks with you.

The optical illusion went viral and transcended through online platforms and even countries. In two days, the post was retweeted 6,900 times and collected 41,000 favourites.

It also became a source of many memes which Ms Villanueva posted on her Twitter

The internet really loves optical illusion. Earlier in February, an optical illusion featuring two identical pictures went viral. People on the Internet were driven crazy by the fact that the two identical pictures appeared different when placed side by side.
