WSAW: What Should Amber Wear? Help me pick!

This Saturday I am going to Jen's sister's wedding. I am super excited, as it should be blast. And I can't wait to cheer Jen on when she gives her speech! So now I just need to figure out what to wear.
I tend to "collect" dresses, rather then purchase new ones for events. When I see a dress I love, I buy it (like the story behind GORGEOUS Haute Hippe dress that I wore to the last wedding I attended). So today I went into my dress closet to figure out what I should wear, and I'd love to hear your opinion!
Dress #1 Laila Azhar pleated Strapless Dress
I purchased this dress over a year ago after seeing it on Vanessa Minillo. It has been patiently waiting for an event to be worn to. Normally I would not wear this to a wedding but this is Jen's favorite dress and it's her pick for what I should wear. On Vanessa.

Dress #2:
Robert Rodriguez Yellow Button Front Bubble Dress
I purchased this dress after seeing it on Lauren Conrad. I love this dress and it hasn't gotten much wear in public, or in pictures (Facebook and the blog) I have only worn it with Casey on date nights. I love this dress BUT I lent it to the bride about a year ago to wear to a wedding and I feel like some people might remember it. I love it none the less.
On Lauren:
Dress #3: Lauren Conrad Collection Brittney Dress
I purchased this dress before LC had her Kohls line. I like this dress but it always seems to get passed up by something else and Jen is worried that it's not fancy enough.
Lauren in the same dress but a different color.
Dress #4 Alice & Olivia Striped Print Kimono Tunic
I recently purchased this dress after seeing it on the bachlorette Ali Fedotowsky and then my size popped up randomly on sale at Shopbop.com.
On Ali...I hope her and Roberto get a reality show, I heart her!I would love to see what ya'll think and which dress you think I should rock this weekend!

Waiting on Wednesday

I am a terrible baker. I just don't have the patience or talent for it. Casey's My friend Johnny once told me that I make the ugliest cakes, this coming from the guy that told my Mom she was the Isaac Newton of dessert making. Well of course the only time of year (besides Casey's birthday) I need to bake, my pretty much brand new oven breaks. So I am sitting here waiting on the repair man. You know that whole "I'll come between 8 o'clock and 2 o'clock deal"?? Well I decided to do some repairs of my own on a Robert Rodriquez dress with missing buttons. Good thing I keep a button box full of all my tags with buttons and matching thread, I was easily able to pull out the correct buttons an quickly fix my dress, no 8-2 window necessary. Seriously who gets the repair man at the 8 o'clock time slot? I always get the 2 o'clock one!

My broken oven. We got this thing in August, of course it blows up on me now when I need to bake cookies for my new neighbors and my lovely UPS man who brings me Neiman's and ShopBop packages.
What do you get your UPS man (or women)? We are debating what to get him besides cookies, since he comes so often.
Extra Button box. Of course a Martha Idea, I have also seen her use a binder. How do you organize your extra buttons? Or do you toss yours?
Yay for saving buttons!
My poor dress that needed to be fixed.
Here's to hoping the repair man gets here soon! I am debating between a yoga video, wrapping presents or catching up online. Well with a 8:oo-2:00 window I may fit them all in!
