As for tops to pair them with, I think these would be great with some casual tank tops that have trendy Anthropologie-esque details. For example, here's instructions to make a Doo.ri styled ruffle tank: http://www.teenvogue.com/style/tips/diy/2007/02/doorichung_20070212. I could also imagine simple tanks with other neckline embellishments, like a scarf-like neckline or floppy tie neck, or some sort of jeweling or paillettes.

A Denim jacket would be nice. A denim shirt too but you have to watch with tuck ins and cropped pants. you could pair jacket with those lovely ruffled/or ruffled trim silk tops JCREW sells in pink? turquoise? Great job.

They are a style that makes me wish I was really, really skinny so I can look extra good in pants like that. But, yes, those shiny fabrics are always tricky because they are hard to match to anything. I love the pants.

I'm not a fan of turtlenecks (I think this is because I have one of my own holding up my head) but I see two choices here: a twin set in pink or cerise to contrast with the green and gold(for a fancier look) or a boat neck top (boat necks have that beachy look with capris.) I think both would be a cool retro looks and worthy of "Treasure" pants. Yeah, fashion challenge!

Very 1960's. In fact, I'd look at some 1960's vintage patterns for Capri pants and see what the illustrations had matched with them. Also try making it in a luxe knit fabric, perhaps a sweater knit?
