Morphology

girlie + theme

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'girlie' (styled in conventionally feminine, youthful ways) with 'theme' (a decorative or stylistic motif). This straightforward adjective+noun composition follows standard semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer it refers to a decorative motif featuring feminine elements like pink or florals.

Etymology

The phrase girlie theme comes from the word girlie, which makes something sound small or feminine, and theme, which means a decorating idea. So it refers to a decoration style full of pink, lace and flowers, things many people think of as 'girlish'.
