to think it's odd to wear a "going out" dress to work?

[GildedWingsOfGrace]

There's a woman I work with, I don't know her as she works in a different department but she comes across as she always makes the effort to look nice and always had her hair styled and make-up done.

(Whereas me I'm more of a 5 minutes, quick brush my hair and thats it)

Today I was behind her in a queue to get a coffee and she was wearing something like this -

Aibu to think this is quite an odd choice to wear to work?? (Btw the work is office based)

maybe she's going out on the town after work?

That's a bit OTT for the office. Sometimes I will "dress up" for the day if I am going out afterwards, but not to that level.

walk of shame job - she didn't get home last night! :-)

YANBU but each to their own...

Do you work in a pub?
If so that's fine, if not, how strange.
Did she have high heels on aswell?

A pub?! That would be terribly impractical pub-wear. Think of all the beer spillages, the bending over to restock, the lugging around of barrels. Only trousers will do!

That's a bit odd!

I wouldn't wear something that satiny and short. But I would happily wear dresses I'd go out in, if that makes sense? Just not one like that.

Did she do that pose in the queue for the coffee machine?

Where do u work? Looks a bit trashy tbh....

Not pub work, like I said in the OP - it's office work - sales, customer service etc.

Shape? Passable, just.

Or

Material? Weird!

Throw on a black suit jacket and she will be ok. Maybe she's going straight to a business event after work.

$100 for that? Blimey.

YANBU.

YANBU. I'm quite often amazed at the things that some women think qualify as "office appropriate".
Saw a paralegal the other day in a leather school-girl style miniskirt.

If it's black or grey....maybe ok. Otherwise it's weird.

Maybe she didn't go home last night ...

May well be she has an office do or client function to go to straight from work.

It's a little dressy but not like she's wearing a strapless ballgown!

And tbh compared to an office I currently work in where during summer people slob around in cut off shorts, t shirts and flip flops like they've just rolled off the beach, I'd rather see someone overdressed than in the sort of clothes I'd wear to do my housework in!

Most of our HR department would consider that office wear.

she didnt get home last night

Yup. It's either and extension of the Walk of Shame, or she's got the serious hots for Malcolm in IT.

< taps nose >

an extension.

yabu & sound jealous tbh - what she wears is none of your business! bitchiness at its best. have my first ever

With a black jacket and black tights, possibly.

And I'm quite concerned about the time you must have spent googling to find a copy online.
