Nicole Richie Says She Will Never Change the Way She Dresses Because She's a Mom

Nicole Richie may have changed her lifestyle when she became a mom, but there's one thing that will continue to stay the same — her cool and hip sense of style.

The Fashion Star judge told People, “I wear all the same things I wore. I’ll always stay true to me.”

While hard at work on the design competition show, she admits she dresses to be comfy, but fab for her long days.

“I get up at 5:30 in the morning and I don’t really stop for anything until about 7 or 8 at night. I’m going all day so it’s important for me, for my lifestyle, to kind of just be comfortable and not really think about what I’m wearing. I’ve always been one to dress for comfort.”

With winter now here, Nicole says doesn’t have “any dos or don'ts” with dressing for the cold temperatures, but she says she loves a “great statement pullover sweater. Just a crew neck statement sweater paired with jeans or a knee-length skirt. I’m a big fan of Balenciaga and Alexander Wang. I stick to what works.”

As far as her take on what she looks like when leaving the house, she often only a short amount of time to get ready and says, “sometimes I look great, sometimes I look like I got ready in 15 minutes."

She added: “The best fashion advice I’ve ever received is to be yourself, not pay attention to trends, know your body and know how to express yourself.”

Fashion Star starts airing March 8 on NBC.
