It takes courage. I keep thinking, Don’t attempt this at home.”</p> <p>....from the article.</p> <p>And I was just thinking to myself: I should dress more this way. But it's true, it takes a special talent to wear such loud clothes without them "wearing you."&nbsp;</p> <p>Like&nbsp; a lot of style icons, she had big statements that could be translated into the small for most people. Here I like her monochrome jewelry with clothing. I have heard of monochrome outfits, but never thought to include accessories that way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iris-apfel-dies-at-102#post-2354443 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 22:22:10 +0000 Style Fan 2354443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She was an inspiration.&nbsp; I will miss her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iris-apfel-dies-at-102#post-2354438 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 20:33:51 +0000 Carla 2354438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An inspiration - for her exuberant approach to life, as well as fashion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iris-apfel-dies-at-102#post-2354437 Tue, 05 Mar 2024 19:36:40 +0000 rachylou 2354437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I heard on the radio and I was sad.

We will never forget her style. She (like <b>Angie)</b> made spectacles the best accessory! Her use of colour and texture was inspiring. Talk about someone who had fun with fashion!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iris-apfel-dies-at-102#post-2354248 Sat, 02 Mar 2024 21:28:14 +0000 Lee 2354248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:/<br /> I was just watching her on YouTube a few days ago.

The world was a better place with your example. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iris-apfel-dies-at-102#post-2354241 Sat, 02 Mar 2024 20:55:33 +0000 Angie 2354241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>An incredibly long and fulfilling life.

I’m guessing images of Iris Apfel will be studied and enjoyed for a very long time. RIP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iris-apfel-dies-at-102#post-2354226 Sat, 02 Mar 2024 14:42:30 +0000 Helena 2354226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What I would give for an ounce of her confidence! Icon. I remember seeing her on a daytime show when I was a kid, it must have been a day I was home sick or something ... She said every home should have every colour in it, even if it's just on the cover of a magazine. Why it stuck with me I don't know - I think I've let her down but I do try!</p> <p>And if you want to laugh, check out her dogs celebrating the Jewish holidays on her Instagram ... So funny, here's an example: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0z5JXKMSPa/?igsh=MW1ybzZyNzJoYzBiaw==" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/reel.....JoYzBiaw==</a></p> <p>May she RIP and thank you Iris for being a role model of how to live and age with joy, and how to be yourself!
