It's not easy to know who you...

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 89 quotes

I’m a hopeless romantic. I bu...

I’m a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because it’s valuable. My husband used to say I look at a piece of fabric and listen to the threads. It tells me a story. It sings me a song. I have to get a physical reaction when I buy something. A coup de foudre – a bolt of lightning. It’s fun to get knocked out that way!

The world is always full of promise.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

People would always say to me...

People would always say to me, "Why are you wearing such large frames?" And I would say, "The bigger to see you."

My secret to having a happy r...

My secret to having a happy relationship is having a sense of humour and giving one another space: your own space.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I don’t care what people thin...

I don’t care what people think…I learned a long time ago…I was 19 and had a very traumatic experience….and I learned that I have to go to bed with myself at night and that I have to please myself…and as long as I don’t go out of my way to offend anybody that I love, upset my mother or my husband…I’ll do my own thing. And if the public doesn’t like it, it’s their problem, not mine.

I always feel that if you're ...

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 89 quotes

I say, dress to please yourse...

I say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.

I see myself as the world's oldest living teenager... I try to get as much kick out of things as possible.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

Style means you have a real c...

Style means you have a real curiosity about yourself and then you express it. Having style is not copying somebody else.

I’m a great believer in common sense, and the older I get I see that common sense is not that common

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

The world is not black and wh...

The world is not black and white; there are lots of shades of grey. There are good things and bad things in every era, and I think it's kind of very blindfolded to say one era was wonderful, as it was wonderful, but there were a lot of bad things as well.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

The fashion industry has done...

The fashion industry has done itself in by neglecting the 60- to 80-year-old market. They have the time and the economic resources. They want to go shopping.

Self-exploration is very painful, but unless you do that, you will never know who you are and who you want to be.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I hate being asked how I met ...

I hate being asked how I met my husband and very personal questions like that. I don't like that. People are too nosey. Intelligent questions I like, but sometimes people ask such silly, dopey ones.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I think some people like me b...

I think some people like me because I'm different. I don't think like everybody else. People are so tied up in the worst parts of technology these days. They live a life pressing buttons. They don't use their imaginations.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

Creativity is down the tube. ...

Creativity is down the tube. And people give a lot of lip service to individuality. I know they all appreciate it, but they all say they would like to do it, but they don't want to work at it, and it doesn't come out of the sky.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

If you don't learn constantly...

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 89 quotes

Fashion has this youth mania....

Fashion has this youth mania. But 70-year-old ladies don't have 18-year-old bodies, and 18-year-olds don't have a 70-year-old's dollars.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I'm a practical person. Most ...

I'm a practical person. Most fashion people live in the clouds, and they're full of it. I live like a human being - or, I try to - and I have to be intelligent; I have to be practical. I'm a great believer in common sense, and the older I get, I see that common sense is not that common.
