You've probably seen people wear clothes or accessories that are covered in shiny decorations. That's because they're bedazzled! Bedazzling is often used to describe something that's been overly decorated for a special event or occasion. Think of it as taking a plain old t-shirt and covering it with so much glitter that it's almost too sparkly. Sometimes, people use the word "bedazzle" to talk about how someone has overdone it on the decorations - like when you add one too many sequins and it starts looking tacky instead of fancy.
