Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.

More quotes by Iris Apfel
If you don't have any individuality and you're happy just being one of the girls (or boys) be my guest. I'm not the fashion police. I won't fault you.
Iris Apfel
I think I still keep my sense of wonder, which I call childlike, not childish, childlike. I still have a vivid imagination, and I like to try a lot of new things.
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
More is more and less is a bore.
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
My look is either very baroque or very Zen – everything in between makes me itch.
Iris Apfel
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 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
It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
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 had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.
Iris Apfel
If you put something together and it doesn't look so good, the fashion police are not going to come and take you away. And if they do, you might have some fun in jail.
Iris Apfel
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
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.
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.
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
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
I just never want to completely grow up.
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 a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
