METALLIC PLEATS.

by Jamila Pierre

Hi, my name is Jamila, and church lady aesthetic is a thing I find myself gravitating towards from time to time. 

I go through these phases; I'm a business man, a woodland creature, a goth, a mermaid, a biker, a raver, a fairy, a church lady, thotimus prime, etc...

Sometimes I blend them all together.

I can't understand a world where a person would only want to play one character. It's like...I feel the most me when I'm expertly concocting new combinations, when I'm able to let multiple sides of myself come out to play.

I call this look; church-lady, meets woodland creature, meets edgy-femme, meets sporty AF.

I actually own a few pleated skirts, but when I saw this one on ASOS.com, I was liiiike .....YOINKS! Add to cart. Get in my life. Give me life...resuscitate ME.

I've also been extremely into mauve and blush tones for a super long minute and a half. Isn't it great when the things you already love (OH so much) become trendy. It's like yaaassssssss, more for me. 

I have this same lightweight suedette moto in a camel color as well,  it is equally as awesome. And, when the aesthetic is church with major sassiffrass....there's nothing more suiting than a metallic midi-length pleated skirt (metallic pleats on fleek), and a moto jacketta.

  2. Blush moto jacket from GSLovesme.com. $20 (On Sale, similar HERE that best matches the alternate color of the dress)

I thought I'd give you some Island of Dr. Moreau realness in this post, just a hybrid of beautiful and amazing creatures. 

I got this cute little headband for liiiiike less than five bucks in this rose gold and in black, #winning. I thought it suit the look over all and added just the right amount of whimsy and shimma shimma.

Now let's discuss this here dress. 

I am in absolute LOVE with it! I first saw it when Glitterandblazers on Instagram hauled it in a YouTube video. I paused the video and immediately went to ASOS.com and gotz ta searching for it. Sadly...it was completely sold out, a few weeks later I heard the call of the dress and thought I'd give the search one more go. Amazingly, the dress was there in-stock again in every size, in all its animal print glory....you know I bought that bitch right?

It has everything you could look for in a dress without pockets; pizzazz (some ZAZAZOO), comfortability, special details (like the slight eyelash lace and the squiggle stitch), and a remarkable ability to make you feel like the baddest with little to no effort.
