Stripes make most women appear thicker, but not Nicole Richie.

The slender reality star looked chic and not a bit wide as she wore a black-and-white striped sweater  over skinny jeans while shopping at Papyrus in Sherman Oaks on Sunday.

Also with the 34-year-old designer were her two children Sparrow and Harlow.

The former Simple Life star carried a plastic shopping bag and also slung a black leather purse over her shoulder. 

Her children were dressed just as comfortably as she was for the occasion.

Holding the woman's hand, Harlow looked cosy in a red flannel shirt, leggings, and a fluffy pair of black boots.
