Iris

Have you guys watched the documentary Iris? About Iris Apfel (it’s on Netflix). I watched it last week while I was designing some new cards. Anyways, I thought it was really good and interesting. I am not huge into fashion so I didn’t really know about her. But once watching the documentary I was so inspired by her, not necessary her fashion but let’s be real she is WAY COOLER then I will ever be with fashion and accesoriazing. But I did find her life exciting, she did so many cool things. Traveled everywhere, designed rooms in the White House, married FOREVER, started her own businesses, etc. I also was inspired when she was talking about not having children. She says something like “you can’t have it all. I wanted a career and to travel and sometimes somethings got to give and that something has got to be you.” I think it was so cool she said that. Everyone says “You can have it all.” but you can’t. Not really. And you just have to choose whats most important to you! And thats totally okay and the way it should be. 

Other good quotes from her:
“Jewelry takes people’s minds of your wrinkles.”
“If your hair is done properly and you’re wearing good shoes. You can get away with anything.”
“It’s better to be happy then be well-dressed, that’s what I always say.”
“I don’t care about going to the party. I like getting dressed for the party.”
“Most of the world isn’t with me, but I don’t care.”

I hope y’all have a great Tuesday!
