When you go to a nice restaurant, you want to be relaxed and have a drink and everything, you want to look at people who look well. You don't want to look at some slob with an open shirt and a hairy chest. At least I don't.
Iris ApfelI 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 ApfelOur culture puts a lot of pressure on the idea that a woman's self-worth is defined by her looks. It's just awful. And they also put a tremendous premier on youth, which is so, so debilitating and upsetting to so many women. I don't know why they're so dopey. Seriously. I don't see any problem with that and if you do, you should celebrate it. Don't chop your face up.
Iris ApfelI say, dress to please yourself. Listen to your inner muse and take a chance. Wear something that says 'Here I am!' today.
