My friend suggested apple bottome jeans. They are specifically made for curvy women and have more room around the hips without having huge waists. (they're more targeted towards black women so I might look a little out of place but oh well lol)
Yeah, I had that idea. Apparently though, when you go to a HBCU, and your white.....the possibility of getting yelled at, hit, or being called Alicia Keys, goes up about 99%. Thus I only wore them once, and decided that yeah, don't do that again.

Something that used to really bother me was that according to retailers if you need a larger size shirt, that apparently you should have huge boobs too....not that I have a problem with that anymore though.
