Need help with dress for wedding in September

Attending my cousins wedding in September. These are my options. Please be kind. I’ll probably delete the pictures later but need help. I’m not fashionable or have any sense of style. Dress code is cocktail semi formal. At a country club and bride told me where whatever I want lol.

Edit: found some flats. Posted a picture in the comments. Tom’s leather flats.

Also thrifting not an option. Live too far to get there and don’t drive. Can’t borrow from family or friends as I’m smaller than everyone but also have the biggest feet of everyone lol.

My (47f) cousin (29f) is having her first baby end of September. My family wants to throw a baby shower and asked if they could use my house to do it at. They said they’d do everything (meaning bring the food, decorations).

For background, I don’t host stuff anymore for my family because I’m immune compromised and I set a boundary that if anyone is sick they can’t come and my family determined that that was ridiculous and they don’t allow me to host Christmas anymore or much of anything that involves this side of my family. We also don’t like young children in our house as we are childfree and don’t have a child safe house (lots of breakables from travel adventures, marijuana in our home etc). We also have a dog that is reactive to new people. My husband also only has weekends off and this would mean he and the dog would have to go somewhere for 5-6 hours which he said is really inconvenient cause then he’s only got one day to get all the stuff he wants done at home and he has no idea where to go with our dog for that long since he’s reactive and gets stressed easily. I also hate cleaning and don’t want to have to clean before and after. I also would only know maybe 5 people so it would be a bunch of strangers with some of their children as children are able to attend. My home is bigger than my siblings but it would not be comfortable for 20 plus people. I also don’t have a great relationship with this side of my family, except for my cousin because of many political differences and being used for our home and money in the past. We hosted many family get togethers for years before babies and small children were around and I got sick. Then I made my boundary and wasn’t allowed to host anymore. But now they want me to because I have a bigger home.

I said no but offered an alternative solution to do it outside at a local park that my cousin loves and really enjoys the outdoors. My cousin’s mom (she is who asked, she is first cousin and my pregnant cousin is second cousin) is mad that I said no and didn’t like my other suggestion.

Am I the asshole for saying no to hosting my cousin’s baby shower?
