Trying to identify my childhood Barbie Doll

I've had this Barbie since I was a little kid. I was born in 1986 but I recently found a date on this Barbie, my last Barbie that I've kept over the years as she was my favorite growing up.

I've looked everywhere for a replica of this doll. I just want to know what set she came in.

On the back of her head it says Mattel Inc 1979 and on lower back it says Mattel Inc 1966 china

She has these very distinct bangs and dirty brown hair with round circular diamond like earrings. This is not her original outfit, just a favorite of mine from Sparkle Barbie from the 1990's and I have a gold tie in her hair.

I really don't know where to look. I've spent an hour looking up 1979 Barbies with no success. I found one but the hair is a bit mess up and and no info as what Barbie she was.

Any Help would be amazing.
