If you're feeling unbothered, unmoved, unfazed, un-ANYTHING…congratulations. You're celebrating Blasé Day exactly as intended.

📜 History & Origins of Blasé Day
Legend has it (a.k.a. I imagine it went something like this) that Blasé Day was invented by someone who simply could not be bothered. Picture it: a mildly overcast Tuesday in the 1990s. A woman named Janet looked at her to-do list, looked at her coffee, looked at the state of the world… and whispered, “meh.”
Her coworker heard it. They nodded with equal lack of enthusiasm. And thus, a holiday was born—not with fireworks or fanfare but with a gentle exhale of indifference. Over the years, Blasé Day has become the unofficial holiday for the emotionally neutral, gloriously unimpressed, and anyone who has ever texted “k.”

Blasé is French for “been there, done that,” but with a better outfit.

The holiday pairs beautifully with dry shampoo and low expectations.
The original color of Blasé Day is greige—because even colors can phone it in.
