Trends for SS19
Aakruthi Karri explores some of her favourite trends for Summer 2019.
Trends I Hate – Lime Green
Impracticality – 1/5 Unsightliness – 4/5 Suitablility – 2/5 Look, I love a bright neon shade as much as the next girl, but I much prefer it when that neon shade is not assaulting my eyes with how bright it is. Neon green is apparently this season’s go-to shade, and I am not here for […]
