Nicole Richie‘s fashion choices have been moving towards the free and flowery of late, but yesterday she looked like she was off to Monterey Pop. First she spent the day in midtown NYC, wearing loose tie-dye and bleached out cut-offs. Even daughter Harlow—who couldn’t be cuter—got in the mood with a flower print dress. Then mom stepped off to Fashion Week, where she replaced her hippie braids with a sequined headband that failed to distract from her drab white tank-top and fake leather tulip skirt (which may have once been a beanbag). It was very Helter Skelter meets Xanadu, and very wrong. Maybe her taste (if we can call it that) for Cali retro will inspire Good Charlotte to record a freak folk album.
