A Spring Wardrobe Refresh Inspired by Inez from Midnight in Paris

As the seasons shift and the air turns soft with the promise of spring, I always find myself craving a little refresh—not just for my home or habits, but for my wardrobe too. There’s something about this time of year that invites us to lighten up, let go, and bloom again—inside and out.

In my book, I talk about the areas I love to revisit and refresh often:

my environment, relationships, mindset, body, and wardrobe.

And right now? My closet is at the top of that list.

This spring, I’ve been drawn—yet again—to the effortlessly feminine style of Inez, the chic blonde from Midnight in Paris. Maybe it’s the soft color palette, or the way her clothes feel playful but put-together. Maybe it’s the fact that every outfit she wears looks like it was made for a carefree afternoon wandering the streets of Paris. Whatever it is, Inez’s wardrobe has become one of my favorite sources of style inspiration.

Here’s what I love about her look:

• Classic pieces like shirt dresses and soft knits
• A neutral palette with calming blues, whites, and tans
• Chic but wearable wedges and oversized sunglasses
• Minimal, timeless accessories (hello, structured bags and pearls)
• That effortlessly polished French-girl vibe that says, “I just threw this on—but didn’t I do it well?”

When I’m looking to breathe new life into my closet, I always ask:

What would Inez wear to brunch on a breezy spring morning?

Lately, I’ve been on the hunt for a few easy, elegant pieces that mirror her vibe—think lightweight shirt dresses, espadrilles, vintage-inspired handbags, and delicate tops in the softest of shades.

And let’s be honest—fashion is more fun when you have a little muse in mind.

What about you?

Do you have any movie or TV characters who live rent-free in your closet mood board?

Is there a season where you feel the urge to reinvent your look, even just a little?

Spring is the perfect time to lean into your feminine charm, experiment with something new, and let your style reflect the refreshed version of you. And if you need a little push—just imagine Inez strolling the Champs-Élysées, dress fluttering in the breeze, and smile to yourself knowing that you’ve got that same sparkle too.
