I just don't get skirts -- I look at all the sites and they are showing skirts and dresses for workwear as mid-thigh.

Don't hate me for saying this, but I'm speculating that just maybe your self-consciousness with wearing a skirt is making you more aware of any glances or looks from your colleagues? I've felt this way on occasion (and yes, I have worked in seriously male-dominated environments -- broadcast production studios in which I was the ONLY female), so I understand.

That said, you look great and I see nothing inappropriate. Go on about your day, cardigan or no, and don't let it bother you. You did not say specifically what the reaction(s) were, so I can't outright condemn your colleagues for whatever their reaction was. Gawking or comments other than the most general kind ("You look nice today") are certainly not appropriate.

You look terrific, and I am sorry your male collegues can't behave themselves. It does make it hard to wear a skirt again

@Janet - Well, the day didn't start out that way, but probably now I'm totally slouching around. I started out with shoulders back and no slump, like my trainer and I are working on (shoulders back, breastbone elevated, firm stride), though. I know because my support muscles hurt now when I slump.

All I got were these ridiculous male stares, and some major evil eye from a lady in the bathroom. Seriously? Thanks for the sisterhood, lady.

Ugh, sounds like just one more reason to be glad you're leaving there! Hold your head (and shoulders) high, you look fab, and any place that is that toxic is definitely best left behind. Your YLF sisters are always looking after you.

Oh, and I saw your other thread, which went into a little more detail about the gawking. Geez, these guys are immature. I mean, heck, I catch a guy looking at my girls sometimes, but they are almost always discreet enough to just glance, not downright gawk.

Back when my best friends and I were teens, we used a phrase that I think came from a movie, but now I can't remember what it was:

"First day with your new eyes?"

boy brain.....(heavy sigh) - sorry they're not socialized enough to recognize a nice outfit!! - glad you had the cardigan at your disposal!! - just don't let them get to you!! - keep wearing the skirts if they make you feel great - 'cause you do look great in them!! -

I think you look great and your outfit is work-appropriate.
It could be the case that if you have not worn skirts at work for a while, people get stupid and stare at you.
I did not wear skirts for a long time, as a matter of fact, I wore my "uniform" of whatever I was able to fit into. Happily, after losing a good amount of weight, I was motivated to start dressing better but I got a lot of stares and comments. I made it a point to wear a skirt at least once a week, and now nobody bats an eye when I wear one.
People get used to seeing you one way and then they feel that you should stay the way they are used to seeing you. Don't let that bother you. If you love that skirt (and it is very nice), wear it and enjoy it. As long as you are happy, don't let a few folks with a bad attitude bother you.

You look great! Very cute outfit - I especially like it with the knit top - without the jacket or cardi. I also think however, that the skirt is short - but that doesn't excuse anyone from ogling - and it doesn't mean that it isn't appropriate for your work environment. I'm assuming that it passed the sit-down test, or you wouldn't have worn it. Whatever . . . I wouldn't worry too much about it - sounds like you're out of there soon!
