This portrays her true emotions coming from this song that she wants to be treated like she was the only person that matters since she is all alone in the middle of nowhere. Her outfits were very stunning and beautiful. This portrays the desire she has to feel beautiful. When the person she loves makes her feel loved then she would just as vibrant on the inside as her clothing.
