If you are fine with what you wear, keep wearing it. I would continue being nice with the lady, but at least you know what goes on behind your back. She is not your friend, she is a coworker. That may sting a little, but now you know.

I disagree. Confront her, and say what? Nothing was said directly to the OP. She overheard a comment, assumed it was meant in a negative way, and assumed it was about her. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.
These people work together in a high school. Making a big deal about something like this would be behavior I'd expect from students in a high school, not the adults who work there.

I'd laugh & forget about it.

Ahhhh, the joys of working wth some women. I could write a book on this subject on my own personal experience as well as situations I've witnessed happen to other women. I would give you the advice my mom gave me many times, "hold your head up high kid."

I would not be friends with someone like that, and by the same token, I would not respond to her snotty comment. Why bother? Not worth renting her a room in your head. And continue to dress professionally. I do the same at church. I am a professional music director at my job. The organist, the pastor and I all dress nicely for Sunday services, and I usually dress professionally for choir rehearsals on Wednesdays. I don't expect others to -- but I just feel better when I'm dressed as a professional. On Sundays -- even during the summer when I am technically not employed -- I usually wear a dress (with hose) or nice slacks and a nice top or a suit when I go to church. I was raised that way, and I feel most comfortable that way. I would feel awful going to church in jeans or shorts. It just would feel weird to me. I did the same when I taught music in school. I was always dressed as a professional. I don't care what others wear, but I wear that for ME. I think you are presenting your school in the best light when you dress professionally.

People in the workplace can be very rude. I find it amazing how adults bully each other. I've found that many times they are just jealous and don't have a life. I've had my feelings hurt at work more times than I can count. It's difficult to shake but you just keep being YOU. I mostly keep to myself and do my job. I have maybe one or two co-workers that I talk to only because they have been treated so badly by co-workers. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

The comment was unfortunate. I was at the grocery store and saw a classy lady that was dressed up. I made a point of telling her how nice she looked. We chatted for awhile about how people don't always bother to look nice. Really, I just think it is the world we live in today. Some people wear shorts to church which is something I would have never envisioned when I was a young girl. Things are just different. be proud you are different, I dont see it as a put down. I probably would have said, thanks for noticing.

Ignore the comment - it reflects on her "smallness" ... not on your good sense of dress. Continue to do what makes you happy. I tell my husband, whenever I go shopping or wherever I may wander, the greatest joy I get is giving someone a complement, helping someone, etc. Even if it is a "hello, have a nice day." You may be the only person they speak with that day. Now take that small paring knife out of your back and move on. You look lovely!
