I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.

Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I think that if you have to w...

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.

My mother worshipped at the altar of the accessory.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

Everything that's happened to...

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.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I'm delighted that gay people want to get married and I say why not! It's nobody's business and I would happily give my blessing.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I don't spend my life getting...

I don't spend my life getting dressed! I have to put clothes on during the day; I don't get dressed up at all when I'm working. I'll wear jeans, or something very simple.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I think being appropriate is ...

I think being appropriate is what you have to do. I think these trend things are terrible, like 'Ten Things You Must Have.' Why must you have them? They're a 'must' for some people, but for some they're not. It's silly. Again, it's all a matter of knowing who you are. You'll never run out of ideas once you do. But it's hard work and some people don't want to put in the time or effort. So they don't. And that's their issue. I don't sit in judgment on how they look.

I think you're born with style, but you have to develop it. You can be born with the talent to be an opera star, but you've got to work and practice it.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

You can't just say, "I'm gonn...

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.

I used to collect frames. I've been collecting accessories since I was 11-years-old, creeping around flea markets and sales and everything. Whenever I saw unusual eyeglass frames, I bought them.

I think fashion today is horr...

I think fashion today is horrible. Just open your eyes and look! What's good about it? There's no originality. Here and there, there is, but in general, en masse, there's very little creativity and very little originality. It's kind of boring. Everybody looks alike. Everybody seems to strive to look alike.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

The woman should learn who sh...

The woman should learn who she is and what she looks like and try to find the best points of dress accordingly. I also think that being appropriate has gone out of fashion. There are appropriate times to wear appropriate kinds of clothes.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I think fashion is just part ...

I think fashion is just part of my life and if it hadn't been fashion then it would have been something else.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

You have to observe a few simple rules in dressing, which are really not rules; it's just being appropriate. If you're 70 and want to wear miniskirts, 70-year-old knees ain't pretty!

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

Society should emphasize personality. Accomplishment. Interest. Intelligent things. I think everybody should look as good as possible too.

I don’t expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

I'll spend more time getting dressed than I spent at the actual event.

Iris Apfel 89 quotes

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 89 quotes

It's more important to be happy than well-dressed.
