Am I being overly sensitive

I'm starting this with I have nc for this as some of my work colleagues are on here. Also I think i think I'm being over sensitive about this but have had a rough time losing my dad few weeks ago but need some perspective as I think I'm over thing this

Started at new job and met Steph, who's not in my team but is a few grades below me, she's in mid 50s and my manager has flagged to me there have been a few issues with her which are being dealt with.

So all was going rosy, but I noticed she keeps commenting on our head of departments age (mid 30s) and saying she's done so wonderfully for her self given her age. It felt off at the time to me because well it didn't seem like a compliment although said with a smile. I don't think anyone's age should come into play when it comes to jobs ect either way. Ignored it and pushed it down to not knowing me well ect.

I came in one day (we only come into the office for meetings f2f) and had made a bit of a effort. I'm usually I don't wear make up but I put a little bit and put a nice outfit together (again nothing fancy but polished). I come in and start chatting to Steph again at her desk and she looks me up and down and loudly starts saying doesn't "Amy look so put together and glamorous. Always looks so perfect" and honestly I agree Amy is mid 20s and is very glam but she wasn't around just me and her.

I know I should ignore it and I'm reading to much into it but I'm just wondering if I'm losing my mind

So sorry for your loss. And no you're not being oversensitive. Ignore her. She sounds like a knob x

I don't know what to say to her.

I just don't understand was she suggesting that I looked awful ? What do I say to that.

Glad I'm not losing my mind ...

I would just let her crack on. Don't take any notice of what she says. Let it go over your head x
