girliness
Pink and frilly
Girliness is the quality of being girly—exhibiting traits, interests, or behaviors stereotypically associated with girls or femininity: pink colors, frilly clothes, interest in dolls or makeup.
The term can be neutral, affectionate, or dismissive depending on context: She embraced her girliness without apology.
Some use it to reclaim traditionally feminine qualities; others use it disparagingly to suggest immaturity or frivolity.
