this is my Father’s world

{this is my Father's world.
o let me ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
this is my Father's world:
why should my heart be sad?
the Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!}

subtle maroon

i am always skeptical of wearing maroon or burgundy because i feel like i already see way too much of of this color here at texas a&m. i am wary of buying something like a maroon jacket or sweater, which is sad because i truly love the color and would love to incorporate it into my fall wardrobe. here are a few cute ways to wear maroon without feeling like you’re on your way to an aggie football game:

lipstick:

so chic and definitely on trend for fall.

corduroys:

i love these from urban outfitters. and they’re on sale for $29!

nail polish:

essie’s “lacy not racy” nail color.

opi’s “bastille my heart” nail color

other ideas: printed scarves (like this one from urban outfitters), flannel shirts, or long burgundy socks peeking over a pair of tall boots.

hope this helps all you fashion-concious aggies out there! thanks and gig ‘em :)

grace kelly. what a fitting name for such an elegant and beautiful woman. i came across these photos of princess grace and couldn’t help but share. so classy.

equally as beautiful is her grandaughter, charlotte. i truly think the monaco royal family breeds some of the most beautiful people in the world.
