For her first outfit, Courtney combined a pair of jeans with a cord shirt, a sleeveless shirt (rib tank), and a cap. What could be better on a chilly day than a cosy cord shirt? This stylish piece cost her just $30. Next, she added a women's organic cotton blend sleeveless shirt (rib tank) for $10, providing a comfortable base layer.

Courtney praised the sleeveless shirt (rib tank), stating, 'It fits perfectly and feels incredibly soft and comfortable against the skin.' She also mentioned that the cord shirt and jeans were excellent additions to her wardrobe, particularly loving the skinny jeans for their stretchy, soft fabric.

Nice clothes, but I wouldn't call them outfits.

Major problem with this """"I"M NOT 30 ANYMORE""""". Please if you are going to do something like this on your page make sure the outfit is more in turned to our wonderful age. And also, I would not call this a "WINTER" outfit, its more in tune to say Autum or Spring. Try wearing that in the East Coast Mountain area, we would have hypothermia in less that 15 minutes most days. And before anyone has a snip at me, yes, I know there are a lot of women out there past 50 that would wear this (I would too if I was that skinny). But sadly, most of us have lost the skinny frame years ago. I'm 62 & 5' 8" and a true size 16 but would not call myself "Overweight", but my hips have spread a bit due to childbirth and I do have a bit of a muffin top. Also, I have always been a jeans/boots/jumper or jacket/coat type of girl. To me dresses were for that special date with my man. I have never understood low riders or skinny jeans or short shorts for anyone over the age of 25. Also, Im a bit (as they say) "old fashion" in that I don't have my cleavage open below upper mid boob or have my bra out for everyone to see. I'm a country lass.
