This reminds me of the song by Scott McKenzie, San Francisco 
I'm getting on for middle aged, have always had long hair but cut it off in a cathartic cut the past out of my hair type way. I like it a lot but I've taken to wearing a flower clip to keep one side pinned back. My boyfriend is bewildered by this and says he's never seen anyone wear a flower in their hair before (they're only velvet or faux silk).
I had a woman say today how much she loved it.
It's not that unusual or inappropriate though, is it?
