decisions decisions

I need to buy a semi-nice outfit for the holidays since my wardrobe generally consists of jeans and an occasional pair of khakis. Being a big woman who still wants to have a wee-bit of a sense of style, there are some fashion decisions that must be made on every shopping trip. One of them involves pants. Since most large gals are not in perfect proportion, we usually end up getting pants that fit one area of the body only to find that they don't fit another area. For instance, a woman with a big butt often finds pants to fit her ample derriere but the pants end up gapping at the waist. My problem is that I'm thick-waisted and a weird in between size so my problems are double that of most robust gals. I can get pants that fit the waist, but somehow end up looking like I suffer from THE major fashion faux-paux, the camel toe. Or I can get pants a little baggier in the waist and end up with pants that are saggy in the rear, making me look like I have no ass. I generally opt for the saggy-butt but am always saddened to notice the heightened perception of ass-flatness. The disease noassatall is rampant in my family, we have no extra junk in the trunk, in fact I think we are mostly a family of hatch-backs. Maybe I should just get a skirt.
