Blessings in disguise

On my walk to the Caltrain one day, I stumbled across Jeremy’s department store. It features discounted high-fashion apparel and shoes from designers and other major department stores. Having only recently discovered this gem, I was sad to see it move from San Francisco to Berkley; it was dangerously convenient, located on Second street near my downtown office. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise–just like so many of life’s disappointments.

Ups and downs. Twists and turns. You never know where life will lead you next, or what might suddenly change. One thing is for certain–God has a plan, a lavish and grace-giving, abundant plan. I’m constantly reminded of this, even down to this smallest of frustrations.

Here are a few pictures from our dinner date last weekend in what’s now one of my favorite dresses.

The shoulder ties on this dress are delicate, and feminine–one of my favorite details.


Looking at the photos from last weekend, the colors in this dress almost remind me of Fourth of July. I’m thinking I should save this for next year and pack it away for say, maybe, a trip to Nantucket.  Here’s to hoping we travel back to New England for the July holiday. I sure do love that little island of Nantucket.
