Is my dress appropriate for work?

So I recently have been getting some subtle messages from the ladies at work that I might dress a little too provocatively for the professional setting. I've included pictures below of one of the typical outfits I wear to work on a daily basis. The skirts I wear are usually sit about 10 to 12 inches above my knee and I pair them with some classy Loubutain or Gianmarco 5.5"/140cm high heels (no platforms). I also wear a blouse with a taylored jacket. I'm pretty tall at 5'11" and with heels on I'm almost 6'4". I don't come across as an amazon since I'm model thin at 135lbs with measurements of 32C, 23, 34. but I am the tallest woman in the office... haha...

Do you think I dress a bit too much for work? Maybe I should wear pantyhose which I don't because it's so hot right now. Do you think it's my skirts or my high heels? I only hear nasty comments from other women at work. All the men at work are super sweet to me and my clients love working with me as well. BTW.. I work in the corporate and IP law and am a consulting patent attorney. I have a dual degree in mechanical engineering and law... I don't come across like a tramp at all. I feel i should come across as a classy educated woman... Thanks in advance. Honest opinions please

You look like a celebrity! Gorgeous!!
But I think your dress is a bit too short for work. I think if your dress hit just above your knee it would be perfect. Maybe adding a cami underneath would also make it a little more professional.

Here are some dresses that would look fabulous on you:

Hope this helps & don't pay any attention to the ladies in your office as they are just jealous.

you look fine, if your concerned then just lower the skirt a tad but as far as the women at work they are jealous. No matter what you do or how you dress you will always hear snide remarks from other women because your pretty and probably have a better body than they do, just smile whenever they say things like it dont bother you and they will give up... just my opinion and good luck.

I don't think you dress too "provocatively" but I think you could maybe wear longer skirts (knee length). That will probably stop the nasty comments.(:

I think what you're wearing is fine. It's classy but shows off your (stunning) figure perfectly. Ignore the other women, they are probably just jealous that you're better looking than them.

Yeah it is a little too provocative, I see what you're going for though. Just get a longer skirt and lift your top up a bit so that we can't see your bra chica! lol Express has really nice pencil skirts, a bit pricey but it's the right look. Although you do dress provocatively the ladies at your job are just jealous because your SO DAMN GORGEOUS! (no homo lol). You seriously do look like a model and are those paparazzi shots? But yea you're sexy by nature so you don' t have to push it really, you'd look incredible in a damn turtle neck.

you look great and stylish
but for the workplace, i think you should show almost no cleavage and wear longer skirts. You can still look young and sexy without showing so much skin.

I really like that outfit and I don't think that skirt is too short. When I wear skirts to work, they are every bit that short! The difference I guess is that I always wear pantyhose with my skirts at work. A skirt that short with bare legs is a little on the edge, more of a date night party look but I think wearing hose with it transforms it into something more office appropriate.

Wow! Awesome but I'm a guy so you would expect that. I can see where women will be jealous of the unfair competition. The only comment or suggestion would be to wear pantyhose for a professional look. (pantyhose ALWAYS looks more professional and sophisticated in ALL situations). Loose the high heels. You don't need them! (not good for the feet anyway).

Note: If you start with "graduated compression" pantyhose you will prevent varicose veins from forming and look great at old age as a result and the hose really will give more energy throughout the day due to increased blood circulation. They are thicker but last much longer. It won't take long to discover the benefits of graduated compression. Downside (?) is you will attract more men. The upside is they wick moisture to the surface and evaporates giving a cooling effect like a swamp cooler (remember Thermo from school) thus you will be cooler than no hose!! (..there has to be air movement (motion or wind) to achieve this). The office is air-conditioned so really there are no problems wearing the hose! Try it!

Other than that don't change a thing.
