Scattered glitter on oxherd, an unsophisticated neighbour (3,4,4-4)

I believe the answer is:

the girl next-door

'an unsophisticated neighbour' is the definition.
(approachable or unsophisticated woman)

'scattered glitter on oxherd' is the wordplay.
'scattered' is an anagram indicator.
'glitter'+'on'+'oxherd'='glitteronoxherd'
