I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.

When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.

Image
The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.
Iris Apfel
Image
I think that if you have to work very hard at dressing up and it makes you nervous or uptight, then you won't look very well because you won't be comfortable. I think it's much better to be comfortable and happy than well dressed, don't you?

More is more and less is a bore.
Iris Apfel
Image
I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.

It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
Iris Apfel
Image
I don't pay attention to things like the talent for style. I don't meditate on things like that. I just do whatever I think I should do and go with it, and if people like it, then I'm very happy about it. And if not, I always figure it's their problem not mine.

I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time

I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
Iris Apfel
Image
I don't believe in rules. It's different for everybody. Everyone has to make their own decision and find out what's comfortable for them.
Iris Apfel
Image
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.

Image
When you go to a nice restaurant, you want to be relaxed and have a drink and everything, you want to look at people who look well. You don't want to look at some slob with an open shirt and a hairy chest. At least I don't.
Iris Apfel
Image
I just never want to completely grow up.
Iris Apfel
Image
If you don’t learn constantly, you don’t grow and you will wither. Too many people wither on the vine. Sure, it gets a little harder as you get older, but new experiences and new challenges keep it fresh.
Iris Apfel
Image
You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it's for me. I don't dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.
Iris Apfel
Image
I think fashion today is horrible. Just open your eyes and look! What's good about it? There's no originality. Here and there, there is, but in general, en masse, there's very little creativity and very little originality. It's kind of boring. Everybody looks alike. Everybody seems to strive to look alike.

I never just went to look for clothes and style I always find that wherever I go.

In my view you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.
