Everything that's happened to me, nothing's been planned. I've never had a business plan. I just kind of fell into it, and I liked it, and I took a chance. I took a lot of chances in my life.

More quotes by Iris Apfel
Never be afraid to stop traffic.
Iris Apfel
I don't happen to like pretty things. I don't like pretty dresses. I like more attractive. I like people that look a little bit more offbeat. I don't like the classic pretty face. That doesn't mean it's not pretty or it's not wonderful, and most people don't agree with me, but that's the way I think.
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
More is more and less is a bore.
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
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
It's not easy to know who you are and it's very painful and takes a lot of time and that is why a lot of people don't want to put in the effort.
Iris Apfel
Fashion you can buy, but style you possess.
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 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
I never just went to look for clothes and style I always find that wherever I go.
Iris Apfel
You can't just say, I'm gonna have style. You have to work at it. It's intuitive some people have it, and some people can work on it all day long, and it will never happen.
Iris Apfel
When you're older, no matter how good your humor is you don't always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.
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
In my view you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.
Iris Apfel
To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
Iris Apfel
When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
Iris Apfel
I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school.
Iris Apfel
It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
Iris Apfel
When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.
