But what I find interesting, when you look at the photos of Coco Chanel is that she is wearing lots of accessories!

Iris Apfel’s View on Accessorizing
It makes you wonder what Coco would look like with yet one more accessory, doesn’t it?
It does. When I went looking for a pic of Coco to put this quote onto, I was amazed that in every picture I could find, she was laded down with accessories!
I love Iris’ flamboyance. I’m all for the statement scarf or necklace but she takes it all to another level! On her it looks authentic (together with her statement clothing!) but I suspect on me it would just look a mess. And I’m with you on Coco. Her accessorising it’s hardly what you’d call minimalist!
Yes, Iris really does her own style well. And somehow she doesn’t look overdone!
It is interesting how much bling Coco is wearing, and how she looks one step away from sideshow gypsy lady at a carnival. Maybe she was more theatrical than her reputation leads us to assume? Didn’t Karl Lagerfeld design for Chanel? His “uniform”, for all its restraint, also looked, as far as I can picture him now, sort of theatrical in some way. But I think Coco looks amazing. Fantastic.
I love both Iris and Coco, Iris for her outrageous accessories and colour and Coco for her restrained use of colour and accessories.
