[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So lemme ask all you this:

Let's say you and I are both in the elevator coming back from lunch. You recognize me as working in the same office, but we don't know each other. You're still enjoying a few minutes between eating and going back to your desk, where you have a big girl job and aren't working for me or anything.

I turn to you and say, "Why are you wearing that ugly outfit today? Don't you have any pride?"

What is your response? You feel obligated to get into a long and pleasant conversation with me after that? You pretend it didn't happen? What do you do?

Not the same.  She was commenting on the appropriateness of your outfit, not whether it was aesthetically pleasing.  I see that you think you're *winning* some kind of private war with this woman -- she's uptight, she's a biddy, she's a bitch, you're young, you're *cute,* you're *stylish,* etc. -- but you are startlingly unprofessional in both behavior and dress.  It might not get you fired but it will keep you from moving up in your career. [/quote]

I am neither young nor especially stylish - I also think it is utterly inappropriate for someone who isn't OP's supervisor or friend to comment on her appearance.[/quote]

Sure.  You've never given a younger associate a tip that that flip-flops are too casual for the office, that ripped jeans are against office policy?  You see younger coworkers in violation of the dress code and rather than let them know, you just walk by?  How appropriate of you.  [/quote]
