More quotes by Iris Apfel
I'm making a lot of noise as I walk.
Iris Apfel
I always feel that if you're gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something, just because you think it's in or it's chic, I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. It's better to be happy.
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
You have to look in the mirror and see yourself. If it feels good, then I know it's for me. I don't dress to be stared at, I dress for myself.

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

Iris Apfel
I'm delighted that gay people now want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.
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
More is more and less is a bore.
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 don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time
Iris Apfel
I'm a color person, I've never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big they don't fit into smaller bags.
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
I love a nice hot pink. I like thick lipstick, otherwise it doesn't look like you're wearing any.
Iris Apfel
My mother worshipped at the altar of the accessory.
