July was a great month for books - I even got to read about styles! I’ve been an #ApfelFan, but this reading solidified my love for this #GeriatricStarlet. • • • @Iris.Apfel shares, “I’m just as happy to wear bangles that cost me three dollars as I am to wear valuable pieces - and I like to mix high and low, putting things together to wear as the spirit moves me. [...] It’s better to be happy than well dressed.” She also gives life advice on marriage, on living a long life, on using your brain. 🧠 • • • Judging by my #JewelryCollection, you might think I need more bangles, but you’d be wrong. “The worst fashion faux pas is looking in the mirror and seeing somebody else.” I want to find my style (kinda like finding my brand @ourtravelpassport), and that means getting to know myself. “You have to know yourself before you can find your own style. If I tell you what to do, it’s not your style anymore. It’s mine. Your style has to come from you. Style cannot be bought or learned - it’s in your DNA. You can get help to bring it out; you can learn how to be better dressed, but in the end, style is inherent.” • • • @rach_durie @graceniudesign @stephaniefarina you must know yourselves so well! • • • • • #styleicon #styleagram #stylebible #styleovercomfort #stylestalker #hip #MoreIsMore #LessIsABore #IrisApfel #AccidentalIcon #SquashBlossomNecklace #Maximalist #StylishSaturdays (at Crownpoint, New Mexico)
