trust me I have large upper arms to. Try a self tanner (tanning makes any one look slimmer then I suggest wearing tank tops with a cover up-whether shear or light fabric. The thicker the material the bigger you'll look. Make sure the cover-up covers your butt too-shrugs work awesome.

For the keratosis pilaris - use a lotion w/ glycolic or lactic acid to reduce the bumps. (ex. Lac Hydrin)
oldnavy.com carries plus size clothes. Consider wearing a short or 3/4 sleeve cotton t-shirt. The store also has 100% cotton blouses that might be suitable.
Here are some examples: http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/product.do?cid=5623&pid=460728&scid=460728092

Avoid stripes - horizontal may make you look wider & vertical will draw attention to the length of your torso.

Even though wearing white is much more cooler [as in temperature] than dark colors, dark colors tend to hide chubbiness. A tank usually is nice, maybe even a high halter top- but stick with navy or like colors. =]

well, first of all, be proud of who u are and your body type because everyone is special i there own ways. and as for the fashion part......for the type of weather you descrbed, some bermuda shorts qould be cute alng with a short/medium cute top. make sure that the shorts are denim(if you don't have a school uniform), and the top can be your favorite color or a color that best defines your skin tone.

well. If you can shop online try Torrid.com they have really cute clothes in slightly bigger sizes, and they are longer than normal clothes.
I have to admit, they are a little pricy but not anymore than anywhere in a mall. Good Luck
Oh, and dont wear bigger clothes than you need. wear YOUR size, other wise you'll look bigger than you really are.
