Quote by Ellie Goulding
I instinctively dress a bit tougher because I've spent a lot of time in the U.S. and I realised there was a certain image projected of me here. I've always been an absolute rebel. When I was in my teen years I had piercings and wore all black.
Summary
This quote explains how the speaker's style of dress is influenced by their experiences in the United States. They mention feeling the need to dress "tougher" as a result of the image projected onto them in the U.S. Being rebellious in their younger years, they had piercings and wore all black. This suggests that the speaker's choice of clothing serves as a means of self-expression and reflects their past identity as a rebel.
