Apfel Iris Quotes

More is more and less is a bore.

You don’t have to be an artist to be a creator, because creativity comes in a lot of forms, like cooking or keeping a house or dressing well. What you need is imagination, to make things up for yourself.

You don't find out who you are unless you work at it.

The worst fashion faux pas is looking in the mirror and seeing somebody else.

When you don't dress like everyone else, you don't have to think like everyone else.

You're not pretty, and you'll never be pretty. But, it doesn't matter. You have something much better. You have style.

Whatever happened to the cultivation of the inner self? It's painful and it's work, but it always pays off.

Why do I wear such large glasses? The bigger to see you with, my dear. Anyway, you have to have fun. If you can't have fun, you might as well be dead.

I never had a fondness for gems or the extravagance of Harry Winston or Van Cleef & Arpels. I've always liked the more flamboyant, imaginative things. I lusted after costume jewelry. My husband was a very lucky man.

When you try too hard to have style, you look uncomfortable, like you're wearing a costume, like the clothes are entering the room before you do. If you're uptight, you won't be able to carry off even a seemingly perfect outfit. If that's happening, I say abandon the whole thing. It's better to be happy than well dressed.

Quando você não se veste como todos os outros, você não tem que pensar como os outros.

It’s better to be happy than well-dressed.

You don’t have to look like an old fuddy-duddy, but I believe it was Chanel who said, ‘Nothing makes a woman look so old as trying desperately hard to look young’. I think you can be attractive at any age. I think trying to look like a spring chicken when you’re not makes you look ridiculous.

I never expect anything. I just feel things in my gut and I do them. If something sounds exciting and interesting, I do it—and then I worry about it later. Doing new things takes a lot of energy and strength. It’s very tiring to make things happen, to learn how to master a skill, to push fears aside. Most people would rather just go with the flow, it’s much easier. But it’s not very interesting.

I learned that if you make a point of bonding with the group and they accept you, they will actually like it when you do something original. But if you don't try to be part of things, forget it. That's when your originality is going to work against you. Fit in first and then step out. There is a difference between being perceived as original and being accepted, even loved for it, and being perceived as different and resented for it. You can have your cake and eat it, too.

You can't go home again. If an experience was wonderful, don't try to re-create it. It will never be as beautiful as it was the first time.

If you're happy, have found love, are surrounded by good people, doing what you like, and giving back to others, that's success. Selling your soul for a buck is not work the real price you pay. . .

You only have one trip, and the present is all you've got. The past isn't coming back, and the future isn't here yet! So live each day as though it were your last. And one day you'll be right.

Tidak ada yang namanya pekerjaan yang sempurna, tapi ada cara untuk membuatnya sempurna untuk Anda.

Прежде чем обрести свой стиль, нужно УЗНАТЬ СЕБЯ. Если вы будете одеваться по моей указке, это будет не ваш стиль. Ваш стиль должен быть отражением вас. Его нельзя купить, ему нельзя научиться. Он заложен в ДНК. Вам могут помочь выявить его. Вы можете научиться лучше одеваться, но всё же стиль – это врожденное. Ни консультант по покупкам, ни личный стилист не помогут вам обрести стиль.

Каким-то образом я с самых ранних лет поняла, как важно подстраиваться. Мне было шесть, когда родители отправили меня на два месяца в летний лагерь к северу от Нью-Йорка. Оказавшись в роли новенькой, я быстро усвоила: не стоит слишком громко озвучивать свое мнение в группе. Не помню, что именно случилось, наверное, я увидела, какие у этого бывают последствия. В любом случае, я поняла: поступать оригинально можно уже после того, как удастся влиться в новую группу. Если вас приняли в свой круг, оригинальность, скорее всего, оценят положительно. Если же не пытаться стать частью коллектива, об оригинальности можно забыть. Она будет работать против вас. Сначала вливайтесь, а уже потом выделяйтесь. В этом и заключается разница между оригинальностью (которую принимают и даже любят) и отталкивающей чужеродностью. Короче говоря, это именно тот случай, когда в погоне за двумя зайцами нужно поймать обоих.

Если слишком рьяно броситься на поиски собственного стиля, выглядеть естественно просто не получится. Когда смотришь на такого человека, кажется, что он надел маскарадный костюм и вещи производят более яркое впечатление, чем их хозяин. Внутреннее напряжение не даст правильно себя преподнести даже в самом идеальном наряде. Если вы чувствуете себя именно так – бросайте это дело. Лучше быть счастливым, чем хорошо одетым.
