Bonus Point
Bedizen means to decorate yourself or something else to the max — in an over-the-top flashy style. The word often carries a negative connotation, that the adornment is excessive or in poor taste. It implies a level of showiness that may be vulgar or over-the-top.
Fun with the Word
Bedizen is used only in written form now, though because so few people know what it means you might well get away with saying, "Oh, I like the way you've bedizened yourself today," without getting a slap in the face. They'll probably take it as a compliment. From the old Dutch word dizen, meaning "to deck out."
