The Internets Can Help Me Dress

itsallovernowFirst, I must add to the seriously, WTF category. Too far away boy (who has more or less stood me up 3 times - not as dire as it seems since I didn't have to go anywhere for him to flake) has just texted to see if I have plans tonight. You're cute Too Far Away boy, but really, no one's that cute, and yes, I haven't had sex since January, but I'm not 19 anymore and have the funds and resources to take care of that problem manually. Have a nice life. The eye rolling is not even sufficient.
Second, the real training for the marathon starts tomorrow. I am nervous and excited, I think. Plus, I need to put a poster up at work to harass my colleagues into donating even if that makes me vastly uncomfortable. I am not a workplace sharer, for the most part. It's taken me two years to actually feel close enough to one of my colleagues to invite her to my house. The prospect of explaining family circumstances and personal goals and motivations is sort of horrifying? Am I freakish this way, or is it normal? Of course, people I've been close to are also often surprised by my family circumstances and some of my personal stuff, so perhaps I'm just not much of a sharer in general, except for here.
Finally, my younger step-sister is getting married mid-June in Colorado. As they are all freakish and toned and healthy, it is going to be an outdoor wedding. Despite the fact that it'll mostly be family and therefore there will be no one around to appreciate me looking fabulous, I wish to do so anyway, which is where you, oh internet come in. I've been trolling for dresses, and have run across three that are catching my eye (actually, two caught my eye in person yesterday at Macy's - they both look better on than in the photo).
Silk Sheath Dress (At Macy's it was pink, and quite fetching on)
Max Studio Babydoll in Green (I tried it in green, and would be partial to green or blue).
Super Green and flouncy - beautiful back on this one.
Blue party dress!!
Pink and polka dots,(sadly not a contender. It doesn't ship until August!)
Gorgeous, but silk, and therefore impractical
Alright internets, any favorites? Any dark horses? Any suggestions of things you've seen? I'm looking for something less than $200 and much as I love black, I'm not wearing black to my little sister's afternoon wedding in the mountains! Odds are, aside from the bride, I'll also be the only one in heels.
