Style is attitude, attitude, attitude!
I had to be my own person and live my own life if I wanted to be happy, and I just did it.
Being attractive lasts longer than being pretty.
My look is either very baroque or very Zen – everything in between makes me itch.
I always feel that if you’re gonna be uncomfortable and unhappy in something, just because you think it’s in or it’s chic, I would advise you to be happy rather than well-dressed. It’s better to be happy.
People would always say to me, “Why are you wearing such large frames?” And I would say, “The bigger to see you.”
I’m a color person, I’ve never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big; they don’t fit into smaller bags.
You can’t try to be somebody you’re not; that’s not style.
When you’re older, no matter how good your humor is you don’t always feel perky and peppy. But if you sit home all day and brood about it, it gets worse.
Humor is important in everything. Dress with a little humor and you can go a long way.
It’s more important to be happy than well-dressed.
I’m happy if I can help anybody. I’m more than happy to, but you have to find your own path.
I just mix and put things together the way the spirit moves me.
When the fun goes out of getting dressed, you might as well be dead.
I never just went to look for clothes and style; I always find that wherever I go.
If you’re over 60, arms are not pretty, so I think you should stay covered up. But wear what’s appropriate for what you’re doing, how you live, and what your lifestyle is.
My mother knew if you bought a couple of really good architectural outfits and put your money into accessories, you could create a million different looks. She taught that to me, which I think was invaluable.
Never be afraid to stop traffic.
Jewelry is the most transformative thing you can wear.
The fun of getting dressed is it’s a creative experience.
