Spring Fashions: Throwbacks
They say everything old is new again, and that's in play for upcoming Spring fashions. Think retro!
InStyle magazine editor Subira Shaw visited The Early Show Friday with outfits typifying the four hottest spring looks, and they seemed reminiscent of the '80s, '70s -- even the late tumultuous '60s.
Shaw's preview featured four bold, beautiful trends: big flowers, bright colors, safari, and global prints.
TREND #1: FLORAL -- BIG FLORAL PRINTS ARE HUGE THIS SEASON. THIS IS A VERY BOLD STATEMENT...YOU CERTAINLY WON'T BE A WALLFLOWER WITH THIS PRINT.
