In case you saw our Style Request: What to Wear to a Wedding post and wondered what dress Jessica ended up getting – here’s a few photos of our girl in action, wearing the Teeze Me Origami Pleat Strapless Dress! (She’s the one with the beer bottle in her hand.)

Jessica also accessorized with Fergie “Platina” strappy gold heels ($101) from Shoes.com and a cropped Candy & Caviar coat. Cheers to her cute outfit!

For our first-ever Style Request: Jessica (pictured above) is a 20-something brunette who likes anime, her dog Gizmo and culinary adventures.   She dislikes spiders and pastel colors.

With several weddings to attend this fall, Jessica needs a classic cocktail dress that’s also fun, figure-flattering and not boring.  Her budget is $250, but it’d be nice to have money left over for accessories.

When it comes to fun but sophisticated attire, these three dresses fit the bill – and her budget – with pleat or ruffle details that keep the look interesting without being overly trendy. The bright jewel tones are perfect for standing out in a sea of black.  Dress, check.  Now, on to the cake!
