Love them on you with the olive coat and loafers! The pair of Dickie's painter paints I bought at the Hardware store, of all places, this summer, are ecru, and I so relate to what you said: "I'm really liking the brightness they bring to an outfit"
Yes, me too! This was a real surprise to me. I hadn't owned a light pair of pants in ages. Trying them with this and that in my closet was so fun. And yes, an olive jacket I have is great with them.
Enjoy!
