The "Dexter Morgan" top

Hello! I'm Jessica from Midwest Muse and today I'm styling up Katie's incredible vintage top. I was drawn to this piece because the print reminds me of Dexter Morgan and his blood spatters. Strange? Maybe. But I really love Dexter Morgan. So that's okay. This top fits Katie like a glove, but for me it was almost a dress. I wasn't sure how to dress it up, but I really loved the way the mint and turquoise played up the orange in the top. I really wanted to show of the peplum part, but I think it's safe to say that peplum is not for a short girl with no upper body.

How Katie wore it:

  13. This is one of my favorite color palettes ever! Would you believe, after I initially saw that photo of you in Katie's top, I had to find similar pieces to mix together to create the same palette....LOVE it!

    The top is a beauty on both of you gals!
