Wear false boobs being conscious of one's appearance (4-5)

I believe the answer is:

self-aware

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'conscious of one's appearance' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'wear false boobs' is the wordplay.
'boobs' is an anagram indicator.
'wear'+'false'='wearfalse'
'wearfalse' with letters rearranged gives 'SELF-AWARE'.

'being' acts as a link.
