When you don't dress like everybody else, you don't have to think like everybody else.

When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
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.

To find out who you are is like putting yourself on a psychiatric couch, but you have nobody to help you. Really it isn't easy. I was talking with my nephew this morning and he gave me one of the best quotes I've heard in years 'Personal style is curiosity about oneself.'

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

To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
Iris Apfel
Image
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
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!
Iris Apfel
Image
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
Image
I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.

I was in art school since I was five years old. I've always been to art school.
