STYLE COUNSEL
What to Wear
SYLVIA RUBIN
--The challenge: A pair of patterned jeans
--The budget: $50
--The adviser: Margie Rogerson (pictured), fashion and jewelry designer, goldberry, 3516 Sacramento St., or www.goldberry.com
--Among the possibilities: None. ``I saw other patterned jeans, but not anywhere near this price,'' Rogerson says.
--The solution: Zebra print cotton jeans, by Paris Blues, $32, at Macy's (junior department), San Francisco
--The reasoning: ``I have a red streak in my jet black hair, so the combination of colors and graphics works great for me,'' Rogerson says. ``These jeans are interesting enough to work in casual settings or I can dress them up with a great top.''
--The last word: ``I like to mix casual clothing with jewelry I've designed; a pair of ruby platinum rings will definitely dress up this pair of jeans.''
