For a little bit of inspiration + fun: Iris Apfel

I admire people who have the courage to be true to themselves.

Iris Apfel…

Has been featured in Vogue 

Calls herself a geriatric starlet

Refuses to pay more than $15 for a pair of jeans

Has had an exhibit of her clothing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Has been following her own personal fashion aesthetic for nearly ninety years

"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!"

Iris Apfel 

There's no age limit on style!

    Oh what fun. Wonder what I will be like that at that age? I do oh so like her glasses. Malia, btw Carrie will be here the first or second week in December. The Upfront Art Gallery in Issaquah just moved and I want to check it out. We could visit that and do coffee in Gilman Village too. I will let you know…

    I love her sense of fun with fashion. Totally makes you want to mix it up a bit in the morning when you get dressed :)

    I love Iris Apfel. I have seen her on some shows & it was amazing to see some of her collection of clothes from the exhibit. In my mind I am like her but in reality I am a tee shirt, scarf around my neck, jeans & paintbrush in my hand girl. I love her quote.
    Thanks for the lovely post~ Theresa
