I always feel that if you're gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something, just because you think it's in or it's chic, I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. It's better to be happy.

I don't happen to like pretty things. I don't like pretty dresses. I like more attractive. I like people that look a little bit more offbeat. I don't like the classic pretty face. That doesn't mean it's not pretty or it's not wonderful, and most people don't agree with me, but that's the way I think.

Iris Apfel
If you hair is done properly and you're wearing good shoes, you can get anyway with anything.
Iris Apfel
I'm not going to be a rebel and offend anybody, but I'm not going to live in somebody else's image.

When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
Iris Apfel
The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.
Iris Apfel
You can't just say, I'm gonna have style. You have to work at it. It's intuitive some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.
Iris Apfel
I'll spend more time getting dressed than I spent at the actual event.
Iris Apfel
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
Never be afraid to stop traffic.
Iris Apfel
