👗 着 (wear) + 飾る (decorate): to put on decorative clothing, i.e. dress up
着飾る combines 着 (to wear, put on clothes) with 飾る (to decorate, adorn). Together they mean putting on clothes and adornments to look smart or elegant.
着 — sheep 羊 (top) + eye 目 (bottom)
着 originated as a variant of 著, which depicted plants emerging visibly above ground (grass radical 艹 over 者). Over time 着 split off to carry meanings like 'attach,' 'wear,' or a verb suffix marking ongoing action (zhe), while 著 kept senses like 'manifest' or 'author.'
