The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

I don't see any bells on the hem of the garment, but perhaps that's more my eyesight than a mistake in the diagram!!
Perhaps you do need glasses! What I was thinking of was further up. I just talked to my wife about it and she thought I might be reading Exodus 28 too strictly. I'll leave it a little while longer.
The ephod is missing.
Now you mention it, I can't see any richly ornamented robe. What I was referring to was the configuration of the gems, which on my reading of Exodus 28 (in English I admit) would suggest four rows of three gems not three rows of four. Ah well, I'll put another one up to bemuse.
Now I'm confused because the picture shows 4 rows of 3 anyway.
The ehpod is quite clearly missing - fancy you not spotting that!!;-)
Now we're into 'what is a row?'. I suppose we could have a row about rows! I see four columns of three. What about Elijah?
