Jolly smart — fresh too? (6,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bright and breezy

'jolly' is the definition.
(bright and breezy means jolly or happy)

'smart fresh too?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'smart' could be 'bright' (synonyms) and 'bright' is found within the answer.
'too?' could be 'and' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'and' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'breezy' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for bright and breezy that I've seen before include "Happy" , "a fine April morning?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
