Only recently did Lisa Vargas realize there might be something to the adage “shoes make the outfit.”

“Up until a friend of mine gave me a couple of really nice pairs of shoes, I only owned two pair — black and brown,” said the 25-year-old, adding that now she regularly notices other women's shoes. “My collection has expanded, though not as quickly as I'd like. But I'm working on it.”

In the meantime, flirty frocks rule her wardrobe.

DRESS TO IMPRESS
 
“During the day, I'm pretty much in workout clothes. But at night, I love to wear dresses especially if I'm going dancing.”

“I love these because they're big but lightweight, and they only cost $3. So if I lose them, I don't feel so bad.”

ON THE WING

“I refer to this as my Aerosmith necklace. It's one of my regulars — I wear it with anything and everything.”

SHOE BE DO
 
“Even though I have shoes just for dancing — those have to be replaced about every two months — I tend to go through most pairs very quickly. These are comfortable, even to dance in.”
