I don't believe in rules. It's different for everybody. Everyone has to make their own decision and find out what's comfortable for them.
Iris ApfelI 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.
Iris ApfelIf there was a choice on spending a lot of money on accessories or dress, I always chose accessories. I think jewelry can change an outfit more than anything else.
Iris ApfelYou're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.
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 don't happen to like pretty things. I don't like pretty dresses. I like more attractive. I like people that look a little bit more offbeat. I don't like the classic pretty face. That doesn't mean it's not pretty or it's not wonderful, and most people don't agree with me, but that's the way I think.
