To find out who you are is like putting yourself on a psychiatric couch, but you have nobody to help you. Really it isn't easy. I was talking with my nephew this morning and he gave me one of the best quotes I've heard in years 'Personal style is curiosity about oneself.'

You have to observe a few simple rules in dressing, which are really not rules it's just being appropriate. If you're 70 and want to wear miniskirts, 70-year-old knees ain't pretty!
Iris Apfel
I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time
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
Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.
Iris Apfel
Technologically I live in the 17th century. I have a very simple cell phone. I say I live through the kindness of strangers, because if they see something on the Net they type it out and send it to me.
Iris Apfel
If you hair is done properly and you're wearing good shoes, you can get anyway with anything.
Iris Apfel
First you have to know who you are. That is the most important thing, as if you don't know who you are you will either get swallowed up or you follow some unsuitable trends and just become a nonentity.
Iris Apfel
I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school.
Iris Apfel
I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.
