Today's Draw: Queen of Swords, Victorian Fairy TarotHere she is smashing the popular stereotype that intelligent women must be frumpy. Her body is not just something to carry her brain around and she dresses it well. The most elegant and refined queen in the deck.
Of all the queens I would turn to her for style advice and I believe that unlike some she would give it freely. She's not the sort to pretend that her 'just so' outfit was the first thing that fell out of the wardrobe. Nor does she do false flattery.
She may not be the most flamboyant (that crown belongs to the Queen of Wands) but she understands the science of colour, knows what shapes work together and can spot poor quality fabrics at twenty paces. She IS discerning but she is also diplomatic. It makes no sense for a swordly lady to be blunt.
It's up to you if you take her advice. If you do she'll be pleased to have helped. If you don't she won't be affected.
She definitely a very direct type of woman. Some find her difficulty to deal with, much less get along with.
ReplyDeletePerhaps in her maturity she learns to use a filter?
DeleteOh to have a friend who could give you the facts without adding fluff to impress nor omit information that might be uncomfortable to hear. She is one of my top favorites of all the court cards.
ReplyDeleteI promised myself this would be the year I would get to know her better beyond surface impressions and embrace her. So far so good.
DeleteI firmly believe if we dress better we behave better.
ReplyDeleteNot much help in this casual world
Seconded. Trots off to put on a nice dress and some lippy...
