To me there are lots more important things in the world than just having the right shoes!
Iris ApfelI 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 ApfelI was never hurt by what anybody said about my clothes, because I dress to please myself. If somebody doesnโt like what Iโm wearing, itโs their problem, not mine
Iris ApfelI decided when I was 19 that I didn't like all these stereotypes that I was supposed to fit into. I wasn't comfortable and they made me very unhappy. So I tried and I spent a miserable summer, and then I went back to school and said, 'I'm going to do my own thing because I think I have a thing to do. I'm not going to live in anybody else's image because I don't like that.' I felt much better. I didn't do it to rebel against anybody or anything.
