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.

More quotes by Iris Apfel
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.
Iris Apfel
The fun of getting dressed is it's a creative experience.
Iris Apfel
I think dressing up or down should be a creative experience. Exciting. Fun. For me the key to personal style lies in accessories. I love objects from different worlds, different eras, combined my way. Never uptight, achieving - hopefully - a kind of throwaway chic
Iris Apfel
I think if women put some more of the time and money they put on their heads in their heads, they’d be better off.
Iris Apfel
In my view you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.
Iris Apfel
You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.
Iris Apfel
To lead the good life in New York, the two most important things for a woman are a chauffeur and a fur-lined raincoat. If you have those two things, you’re made.
Iris Apfel
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.
Iris Apfel
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
I find that if I get up and push myself, I get lost in what I'm doing, and I forget about everything else until I stop doing it.
Iris Apfel
It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
Iris Apfel
When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
Iris Apfel
There are so many empty headed people in the fashion business who take themselves way too seriously and I don't think I am at all like one of them. To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
Iris Apfel
I don't think dressing has anything to do with numbers. I know people of 30 who act like they're 97, and I have a few old-bag friends who are very hip.
Iris Apfel
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.
Iris Apfel
Never be afraid to stop traffic.
Iris Apfel
Caviar used to be my drug of choice, but since my husband is on a no-salt diet, I've kind of given it up. I still have dreams of sitting down and gorging, though. I love it with a good vodka I don't like it with champagne.
Iris Apfel
I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.
Iris Apfel
If you're over 60, arms are not pretty, so I think you should stay covered up. But wear what's appropriate for what you're doing, how you live, and what your lifestyle is.
Iris Apfel
I was never hurt by what anybody said about my clothes, because I dress to please myself. If somebody doesn’t like what I’m wearing, it’s their problem, not mine
