I am interested in hearing whether your SO and the other women in your life now and in the past dress generally and whether the way they dress influences you at all. I am surrounded by Girly Girls my wife, daughter and daughter in law are all very Girly Girls and all dress well even casually. My wife for example puts on makeup everyday first thing and only takes it off at bedtime even if she is staying home all day.
Interestingly growing up was the exact opposite, my mother and aunts were the opposite, my mothers closet had nothing pink, nothing feminine, nothing remotely sexy. My mother only put on minimal makeup for special occasions.
I think my mothers lack of 'girlyness' did influence me as i really think of myself as a Girly Girl and i do enjoy being around the well presented women in my life nowadays.
