More quotes by Iris Apfel
I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
Iris Apfel
When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.
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
I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time
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
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
My look is either very baroque or very Zen – everything in between makes me itch.
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, don't you?
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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 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
Iris Apfel
When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
Iris Apfel
I just never want to completely grow up.
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
Given the choice, I would spend my money on accessories.
