The '''Girly Girl''' is a little girl or woman who likes things like floaty dresses and perfume and jewelry, etc. However having some of these attributes doesn't necessarily make a girl 'girly'. Depending on local norms, a tomboy may have some of these traits, and the variety of Girly girls is great enough that no one trait can be called essential. Therefore, it is nearly inevitable she will ''[[GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak invert]]'' the TomboyWithAGirlyStreak (which the tomboy plays straight).
