Dolly Parton has been a staple in country music for over 50 years now. The original "Backwoods Barbie", she's made it clear that you can be a country bombshell and still have an incredible career and a carry a strong message. Dolly reminds us that true beauty is not found in hair, makeup, or through plastic surgery. It's in how we treat others, and how we give back to the world around us. From the beginning of her career, Dolly Parton has made it her mission to find beauty and see love in everyone she meets, no matter how they have treated her. She has continued to treat everyone she meets and everything that has happened to her as a blessing. Armed with a big heart and Southern sass, she captured the hearts of millions around the world through music, movies, the Dollywood theme park, and her imagination library. The imagination library is her non profit organization that gives a child one free book a month from the time they're born until they are 5 years old. Dolly expects nothing in return for these acts, not even fame, but does them to honor her fans and her beginnings in a poor family in the mountains of Tennessee. Dolly encourages and inspires us to live authentically, dream big, and always have an open heart. Dolly is such an incredible role model, it just felt natural to pay tribute in the best way I know how: some fashion and a photoshoot.

| Dress from Pin Up Girl Clothing |
Some of my favorite clothes have a western style, and I couldn't pass up using the Fables by Barrie fringe dress and skirt (top by Heart of Haute) or the Pin Up Girl Clothing bandana print dress I got at a PUG Yardsale. Fables by Barrie is a great clothing line, the clothes are well made and so cute and unique. I love the Pony Tales collection, it's all Western-inspired and I plan on getting more for the summer! Fables by Barrie also carry a wide array of swimsuits, perfect for the 4th of July. Pin Up Girl Clothing is another fantastic, high quality line. They offer a huge selection of clothing for all body types, and are constantly debuting new items. Their Pin Up Girl Yardsale Online section is a great way to score some of their cute clothes at lower prices, most of them are almost new or lightly worn. I scored this dress in person at their booth at Viva Las Vegas, I was so lucky to find it there! They no longer carry this print, but have many dresses in the same cut and style. The boots are vintage, and I wish i had more outfits to wear them with. I added some extra glamour with hair and makeup, making it a little over the top is just my style. Nothing says Dolly Parton like big blonde hair and a smile, the perfect finishing touches to all these looks!
Love,
Rose Darling
