Reposted by Here Be Stash Dragonsderek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress. 194354235284
