At 98, businesswoman, designer, and fashion icon, Iris Apfel is feisty, fabulous, fastidious, and showing no signs at all of slowing down. I admire her energy, creativity, discipline, work ethic and down-to-earth attitude to life. She is fearless in her fashion statements as you can tell from her bold dramatic style. This girl is still in the game! Bigtime! Could she be the new face of 100?<\/p>\n

People like her are an inspiration to fashionistas all around the world. Yes, she herself will freely admit wearing all that big heavy bling, which probably weighs more than her, can be uncomfortable at times, but style is more important to Iris than comfort. It’s the price you have to pay she will tell\u00a0you. She says she is not pretty, never was pretty, dislikes the word pretty, but has something more important; style!<\/p>\n

As an archetypal Virgo, Iris Apfel is incredibly disciplined both in her eating habits, and her daily routine. She likes order and simplicity in her life. She believes passionately in being true to yourself and unique. She has never been one to follow the crowd. She dresses for herself because as she says “Life can be gray and dull; you might as well have a little fun when you dress up’. My sentiments precisely!<\/p>\n

The saying ‘No matter how you feel, you should always get up, dress up, show up, and never give up!’\u00a0<\/em>was surely coined with her in mind. And that is why Iris Apfel is my Wednesday Wow Woman!<\/p>\n

Hugs,<\/p>\n
