In regular Tarot, The World says you’re headed for balance, completion, fulfillment. In Ann’s Fashion Tarot, The World says listen up, sister, your shins are ruined but these $3.99 stick-on crystals will fit right in the channels and the sum might be better than a regular pair of legs.
I mean, in case you were on the way to a fancy lunch meeting and your toe caught the inside of your long black skirt and you pitched forward and slid knees-first down a brick staircase.
And then maybe it didn’t heal well. Maybe you should have sought actual first aid instead of holding a couple paper towels there and tying them with the ropes of your espadrilles? (So you could get through the fancy meeting, I get it. I know. Because you were all dressed up and everything. Long black skirt! Rope espadrilles!)

See that you could have done things differently. You could have done this better but you didn’t. In a flash, you did exactly this, and the result is permanently not what you want to wear today.
For the next year you wear long skirts (yawn). For the year after that you try leg makeup (corpsey).
Then maybe you say, ok, well, I guess these are my legs now.
I guess these are my gougey little mistakes and they deserve some crystal stick-on redemptions. I guess my indelible marks of dumbass should have, at least, accessories. They deserve to feel whole. To catch the light. To be all done with the last trip and ready for the next.
Ready. Scarred but sparkly. Whole. This is who you are today.
The World is sponsored by Ann’s Fashion Tarot, offering free readings forever. Truly. For real. The future looks supercute on you.
Embrace your scars. Everyone. Yes. The crystals are beautiful.
Thank you for your many thoughts and ideas on such a wide variety of fashion. I can see the crystals even if there are no scars.
Tarot reading would be wonderful for the new year. Will call to set something up!!! Merry – Ho Ho.
Remembering the shin incident like it was yesterday. Our sparkles are our own to believe in and nurture (applying extreme McGyver 1st aid when necessary). But truly, the blessed are those who join and support our efforts, applying their strengths & talents in the spirit of sparkle.
I applaud your guts – the leg guts you showed us and the Ann guts it takes to bedazzle the shit out of those scars.
