When your 90.

I hope to look this great! 

Iris Apfel is 90 years old, but you would never know.

I hope when I'm 90 I will still get excited about life. 

AND still be madly in love, how cute are they?

Now for some 90 year old word of wisdom. 

On people who have bad style:
“It’s a free country – if you want to look like a freak, that’s your problem.”

 On personal style (prompted by Lindsay Lohan asking Apfel to be her stlyist):
“I can’t tell people how to have style. No amount of money can buy you style. It’s just instinctive. You can’t try to be somebody you’re not; that’s not style. If someone says, ‘Buy this, you’ll be stylish,’ you won’t be stylish because you won’t be you. You have to learn who you are first and that’s painful… I don’t try to intellectualize about it because it tightens you up. I think you have to be loose as a goose.”

 “Style is something integral, it’s something that’s you, it’s part of your psyche. You have to study yourself, learn who you are, learn what you really like, what you don’t like, what you’re comfortable with, how you feel, how people react to what you wear, and how much it bothers you if they don’t like it. It’s all of those things. And I think that that requires some hard work that a lot of people don’t wanna do, but if you don’t do that, you can copy somebody else’s style, but it won’t be yours. It ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it.”
