Yay! My first published endorsement!
This is the for the Mane Attraction Enchantress Wig from the Breast Form Store which I wrote a review for recently. I’m having a lot of fun doing these reviews and I have a couple more dress reviews coming soon. I hope to continue to more projects like this, so if there is something that you think would be a good product to review, please let me know!

Last week I posted some photos modeling a new ‘do courtesy of The Breast Form Store. The hair inspired an outfit I put together but never had the opportunity (or courage) to wear. It was a fun, cute summery outfit that I wasn’t sure was *me* or not.
But a new hairstyle can do wonders and I was brave enough to try a new look.
So, what do you think?

I love how clothes can change…everything. I love how certain patterns, colors, and styles can minimize or enhance certain characteristics of our body. Black tends to be slimming, dresses with larger prints are usually flattering to us tall girls, and a skirt with horizontal strips can balance out a body that is considered top-heavy.
Of course, you should wear whatever you want. There is also no standard one must meet to be beautiful or feminine.
That being said, I have always loved what peplum tops and dresses do for my figure. Peplum dresses and tops have an extra piece of fabric that flares out around your hips. Peplum style clothing is very versatile as it gives the appearance of hips to those who lack curves, but for those who are a little shapely it draws attention to other parts of our body.
Glamour Boutique recently sent me several dresses to model and to review and I am excited to share with you the first of those outfits. I have modeled for Glamour Boutique in the past and I am excited to continue to work with them.
When I first started to build my wardrobe, I tended to gravitate towards black dresses as they were not only slimming, but they also gave off a sense of sophistication and class. After a while, I drifted more towards brighter colors, bold patterns, and different styles. I hadn’t added a black dress to my closet in years and I was at a point where it would take a really amazing black dress to be added to my closet…
…Such as Glamour Boutique’s Black Crossdresser Peplum Dress. I looked at this dress on their website and I thought it looked cute, but nothing too spectacular. When I opened the package the dress came in I was struck by how the photos didn’t really do it justice. The dress was cuter than it appeared to be.
And then I tried it on.
Wow. The dress gives me a little more curve, and the skirt is short enough (always a plus in my opinion) to show off my legs. The top of me is pretty square-shaped so its not easy for me to pull off a hourglass look, but the cute little flare that cinches around my waist gives my body a lot more shape.
The bottom of the dress is in the style of a pencil skirt and it’s meant to be tight and straight. This style helps even out my square shoulders and gives me an overall proportional look. If you are tall like I am, it’s usually recommended to not pair a peplum look with heels, because this style can accentuate height, but as you can see I kept my stilettos and paired this dress with black stockings for a classic look.
The dress itself is true to size and when you order it please take your measurements correctly. I went back and forth between two sizes and went for a size up and I am glad I did. If a dress that is my size doesn’t fit me its usually because of the shoulders and not the hips, however this dress fit like a dream. I was comfortable in it, I looked good in it, and even though I don’t drink, I felt like going to a cocktail party.
This is a fun, flirty dress. The peplum style adds a little extra to the traditional little black dress but does not take away any of the style, timelessness, and sophistication. I am so happy this is in my closet and I am excited to show it off the next time I go out to dinner.
Thank you to Glamour Boutique for providing this dress for this review.

I have always had dark hair. The color suited me and it matched my eyebrows. Black hair was just…me. However, I’ve always been a little curious about what I would look like if I changed it up a bit. I recently had the chance to find out.
The Breast Form Store sent me two items to review recently. One of them was the amazing Jolie Thigh Pads and the other was a Mane Attraction Enchantress Wig
My first impression of the wig was…well, I was a little intimidated. That sounds rather odd but when you go from a certain hair color and style for a long time it can be a little scary to make a change. The wig is light brown (the official color is cocoa) and the ends of the hair curled in a fun, playful way.
Although this was a big change from what I was used to, I also was excited to wear it. The color and style just screamed SUMMER to me. It sounds silly, but I immediately thought it would be perfect with my new pink skirt and jean jacket.
Wigs are not always easy to buy. Changing your hairstyle can change your entire look and our attitude, confidence, and how we think of ourselves is often tied into how we feel about how we present yourself. The first time I tried it on was…well, it didn’t go well. But that was not the wig’s fault. If I was apprehensive about changing my look before, I was even more nervous after that.
I put the wig away until it was time for my last photo shoot. I had my outfit picked out for the wig and I was excited to see if I could pull off a sassy, flirty, summer look. Do you see what I mean about changing your hair and changing your life? 😉
When it was time to take pictures of my new hair, I changed into the outfit the wig inspired and Shannonlee and I went outside to take advantage of the outdoor light. It was a beautiful and warm spring day and the sun cooperated magnificently.
As the photos progressed, I became more used to my new look. I started to really love how the hair, the sun, and my outfit all seemed to be fueling my mood. I was amazed by how much fun I was having.
These shots were the final photos of the day. I had a few errands to run after the session and I kept the wig on. I loved how it looked, I loved the impact it had on my mood, I loved that this change was something I could pull off. I couldn’t help but check myself out in the mirrors at Target and the other stores I visited before going home.
There are many different options when it comes to buying a wig. This particular wig is made of synthetic fiber which allows it to be washed if you do it properly. The lace front allows the wig to blend in naturally and create a natural hairline. Simply put, this wig does not look I am wearing a wig.
I imagine I’ll always be a raven-locked girl, but it’s fun to have a new summer look for a few months.
Thank you to The Breast Form Store for providing the wig for this review.

A couple of weeks ago I had a photo shoot to highlight some products I was sent to review. The first review was for Jolie Thigh Pads from The Breast Form Store and you can read my review here. Shannonlee and I did some pictures against a white backdrop for the review photos, but the dress I wore was so fabulous that we did some photos for fun. I hope you like them!

Can you think of a more fun way to spend a Friday afternoon than getting a makeover from Corrie Dubay and then going to a photo shoot with Shannonlee? Because I sure can’t!
This was a little different than other shoots I’ve done in the past. This session was all about photos for product reviews from The Breast Form Store and Glamour Boutique.
I’ll be posting photos and reviews for some items over the next few weeks. I’m actually wearing one of the products in the photos above and I can honestly say it has changed my life. And no, it’s not the dress. 🙂
In the meantime, if there are any products or clothes that you would like reviewed, please email or comment below!

I am thrilled to be Glamour Boutique‘s Eye Candy of the Month for April, 2019!
I have been lucky to have had a wonderful relationship with Glamour Boutique for the past few years and even have done some modeling for them.
You can visit their site and read an interview with me.
I wonder if I’ll be doing anything else with Glamour Boutique soon..? 😉
Love, Hannah
