prink
Fuss over appearance
To prink is to dress up or primp—to fuss over one's appearance with careful attention to detail.
The word is old-fashioned and rarely used today: She prinked before the mirror for an hour.
It can also mean to adorn or deck out: The children prinked themselves with ribbons and bows.
