There is Nothing Wrong with What I Wear!

This has been on my mind for a some time now and has managed to get me emotional. Recently, my coworker has made comments about my outfit. Yesterday, she came up to me and said, "Your outfit is super cute. I wish I could dress like you. You're not afraid of anyone saying something about the clothes you wear?" I was wearing a pink skort that met the end of my fingertips and a plain green sweatshirt. I didn't think much of what she said at first, and just took it as a compliment. During today's shift, I was wearing black shorts (again, not going above my fingertips), a black t-shirt with a butterfly graphic, and a yellow jacket around my waist. My coworker says to me, "Oohh, super casual today. You've got a nice shirt, but did your husband really let you walk out of the house like that?" At this point, I should've just said something to my boss, but I was just shocked to even hear that.

For context, I work for a family entertainment center with various activities such as escape rooms, laser tag, etc.. We don't have a set uniform unless we are being rented out for big events, but on regular days, my boss allows us to dress pretty casual. We have a very basic dress code: No explicit/vulgar graphics or texts and nothing too exposing. Basically, anything is fine as long as it is comfortable and professional enough for a family-friendly establishment. I've been working here for a little over 2 years and my coworker has been here for about 4 months. None of my other coworkers or my bosses have ever had an issue with what I've worn to work and it's not like I haven't worn the outfits that had received those comments on previous work days.

I don't know what I did to receive comments like that from a coworker, especially one that is a women who seems very supportive of women's rights. The reason I rarely wear pants/long bottoms is because I live/work on an island that tends to be hot and humid, so shorter bottoms are one way to keep cool. I never wear anything shorter than above fingertip level, and if I do wear something like a tank-top, I always take a jacket/cardigans with me to cover up. I'd also like to add that I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant, and I don't have a whole lot of clothes that can fit me properly. I make do with what I have and still adheres to the dress code set by my bosses.

I told my husband about this when I got home, and literally started to cry because I felt so overwhelmed with both anger and shame. I'm lucky to have a husband that doesn't care what I wear (in the best way possible) and only cares about whether or not I feel comfortable/happy with the outfits I decide to go out in. It's difficult to see why a woman who is 5 years older than me (I'm 22) give me backhanded compliments when I did nothing to provoke her, at least not to my knowledge. I'm scheduled tomorrow to work the same shift as her, and I've decided that if I receive another comment on my outfit, I'm bringing it up to my boss. Realistically, I should've just brought this up the second I felt uncomfortable/attacked by her words, especially since she has made uncalled for (and untrue) comments about my other coworkers. We'll see, I guess.
