Image
Given the choice, I would spend my money on accessories.
Iris Apfel
Image
I never just went to look for clothes and style I always find that wherever I go.

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.

Image
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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

My mother worshipped at the altar of the accessory.
Iris Apfel
Image
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!

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
Image
I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time
Iris Apfel
Image
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
Image
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.

I'm not a minimalist, as I'm sure you've noticed.
