Hope for something good to happen: Micah 1.12

“Indeed, the residents of Maroth hope for something good to happen, though the Lord has sent disaster against the city of Jerusalem.”

Micah 1.12

One of the cities in the path of Sennacharib, Maroth hoped vainly for something good to happen, even in the face of disaster. Wishful thinking would be their destruction.

God speaks, making his will plain. People stand in the shadow of judgment and wish…

Yesterday's Jeans Presents: Wishful Thinking

I know my last wishful thinking involved all that glitters but what can I say... I love to sparkle! This ELIE SAAB blazer is fabulous. My inspiration today was this piece and nothing else.

I:

I would wear this look almost anywhere, the jumpsuit says pre-wedding event (bridal shower, bachelorette party... whatever) so I guess I would wear it then.

Jumpsuit: alice+olivia, Shoes: Christian Louboutin, Purse: Chloe, Necklace: Monsoon

II:

Who could resist this little feather number. It screams "look at me" and "life of the party!!" all while being chic and approachable.

Yesterday's Jeans Presents: Wishful Thinking

I know it's wrong but this season I'm majorly craving fur. I'm not ready to commit to a full coat in this amazing fabric so I chose to add this Fendi coat to my dream wardrobe. (Bonus: It's cashmere!) I think this coat is perfect for both work and play, I styled looks I would incorporate the coat into for both.

After Work:

Looking at this coat I instantly think of the 60s and Jackie O. She was a definite inspiration in the pieces I chose initially. I think she would've looked fabulous in this dress and totally work appropriate. One of the things I love about Jackie O's style is how she tied accessories into her looks, that's why I had to choose the matching fur hat. To put a little me in the mix, I added these mismatched shoes and gloves.

Dress: Dorothy Perkins, Hat: Top Shop, Gloves: Paul Smith, Boots: Jeffrey Campbell

After Party:

This look was inspired by the daughters of the women who emulated Jackie O and her amazing style. I imagined what I would wear if I'd grown up in those times and borrowed my mom's coat. I love the sparkle of this sequined dress and the cohesive contrast of the deep red velvet and the navy cashmere.
