A t-shirt is so much more than a t-shirt when you slip into one of WkShp‘s colorfully printed versions. If cool, West Coast beach dweller is the look you’re always going for, you’ll want to live in these designs. As seen on Leighton Meester on the set of  Gossip Girl, in Daily Candy and on celebrity fans like Nicki Minaj and Vanessa Hudgins, you won’t want to miss the WkShp boat. Now we can hardly wait for summer.

How can you WIN one of five WkShp printed tees and tanks? Tell us in the comments how you would  layer and make these colorful tops work for the colder months. The commenters with the most creative ways of incorporating them into winter wardrobes will win. Good luck!

BROCHU WALKER retails between $115 – $565 and is available at Saks, Shopbop and more. You can learn more about the brand on their website.

The ensemble includes:

OVERSIZED BLAZER: This one by Acne, is long enough to cover a tight skirt. You can ditch the skirt at the office on the way out. FYI, A cardinal rule for work appropriateness – cover your bum. That said…

ROUCHE SKIRT: This one by A.L.C., you want to find one that rouches, allowing the most versatility in length. Pull it long at the office, hike it up (just a tad ladies, you’re no ho’) to party.

CROP TOP: This one by Topshop with its overall straps, it crops at the waist and fits snug with the height of the skirt. It has a make-your-own-dress effect, and you can let a strip of high midriff breath sexy.

CROPPIER CARDIGAN: This one by Preen, find a cardigan that buttons above the bust. This gives a gorgeous peekaboo to your decolletage, and makes it easier to stash in a purse. This will be your jacket for the evening.

PATTERNED HEADSCARF: This one by Modcloth, you can wrap a scarf round your neck to hid the cleavage during the day for a classic appeal. At night, tie it round your head in a bow for a royal headpiece look.

CHUNKY CHOKER: This one by Aalia, you can hide your wild jewelry underneath that classy scarf you’re wearing, and bust it out at night.

CUT OUT WEDGE: This pair by Donna Karen, a lace up wedge is perfectly right for work, but the cutouts make it sexy for night too.

**Not pictured** Be a lady, wear stockings to work. If the weather calls for it, take them off later. Play with colors and levels of opacity. Keep it classy.

Rifle through your own closet, you might be able to layer this way with what you have. If not, happy shopping! Remember – smaller separates have a longer life.

LOOK FOUR: Terrestrial Nautica

The Dress: Timo Weiland, $438

On the wall, this particular Timo Weiland dress was buttoned up to the tippy top and those long pieces were tied in a knot in front. If you’ve noticed yet, I don’t like just wearing a dress; there must be another layer in order to make it truly interesting to me. I knew I had to work this spotty pocketed piecey frock from the collection “A Warf on the Baltic” into my look, but how, I pondered, what could actually enhance this already amazing slightly Saurat experiment without fighting it…?

The Bikini Top: Lisa Marie Fernandez, $360

Because of the distinctly organized layout of Début, I was able at a glance from the middle of the store to spot the very piece that would bring the dress to multi-layer perfection. The answer was hanging on the front-most display in the form of a bikini top. As this is by Lisa Marie Fernandez, I know it will look entirely acceptable, if not futuristically fantastic, to wear swimwear as real clothes. I zipped myself into the maleable, even more wetsuit inspired cropped halter and closed it to the collar with the large plastic zipper and velcro strap.

The Bracelets: Brook & Lyn, $110

I had been lusting after this jewelry since the moment I walked in. Made from slates of agate that designer Mimi Jung found happenstance on her journey through Hong Kong, her line Brook & Lyn features these slabs of crystalized rock. Encased within either black or white woven rope, they form the collection entitled “Surrounded by Day and Night”. I selected two of the bracelets, in both teal-to-sea-foam and aqua blue to complement the frenzy of colors that this outfit creates.

Can you dig this neoprene top + chiffon dress combination? I’d love your thoughts.

Check tomorrow for my last look at Début. Teaser: Parachute Nylon.

Layering is the key to dressing for cold weather. When winter rolls around, I like to wear everything in my closet all at once. Not sure if that’s good or bad…

Link Love: The Voguette

Queen Michelle at Kingdom of Style showed us how she layers sheer…the result? A dreamy layered cake perfect for any occasion. I’m dying over those Christopher Kane For Topshop Leggings!
