The fake twin set is an extremely useful wardrobe component--it's simply a shirt and a top layer (cardigan or jacket) in the same/similar color. I find that a fake twin set makes for a particularly nice backdrop for a patterned scarf, as demonstrated here.
Pink Rose--Thursday, 2/23/18
In this outfit, it's hard to see what color of top would work as well with an olive blazer and white polka dot scarf as a simple olive T. With a white shirt, the scarf wouldn't stand out. In a different color, the shirt would contrast with the other colors on the top half and draw attention to itself. In olive, the shirt stays in the background and just blends in with the jacket.
Outfit cost per wear (OCPW): $12.36
Hard to believe the Los Angeles rose photos were taken in December. Craziness.

Peacock on Roof of Century Link Concessions--Friday, 2/24/18
A fake twin set is basically a low-drama layered shirt or sweater that lets other parts of the outfit shine.
OCPW: $16.93
When this peacock wasn't busy strutting around the tables and diners at our lunch spot, he liked to take the high view from the roof.

In other news...Half-Assed Book Review:
Raven's Gate by Anthony Horowitz: The Gatekeepers #1.
This was an almost perfect book that was delightfully creepy without being too scary.
So by reading this book and loving it, I basically have found out that horror fiction targeted at children ages 8-12 is where my ideal fear level for scary stories is. Good to know. In the author interview at the end of the book, he described it as "Stephen King for kids."
I enjoyed the fact that the protagonist was a boy, too. A lot of the fantasy/SF teen/young adult fiction I read features a female main character, so it was a nice change of pace to read a paranormal story from a 14-year-old boy's perspective. (There are four more books, and we have every reason to believe that major girl characters will appear in the series.)
I will definitely be continuing the series.
