Hot Accessories For Spring Wardrobes

(CBS)  There's a real cool way to make your spring wardrobe "hot."

It's all about accessorizing.

On The Early Show Friday, Katrina Szish, national correspondent for InStyle magazine, showed that you don't have to spend lots of money on a new spring wardrobe -- you can use accessories to change outfits.

Spring's best trends, from global to bright colors, will certainly add some "wow" to your wardrobe.

And Szish says this is the season to buy accessories to get the most out of your clothes -- rather than purchasing lots of new clothes. New accessories can truly revamp outfits. You can literally get two entirely different looks.

Nothing in any of the new trends is dainty or minimalist, the looks that had been popular for a few seasons. It's all about big and bold now, whether in color or size or the amount of accessories you pile on.

Szish showcased three outfits featuring six models, to show how easy changes can be made.
