Working in an office can be a nice experience but it also has it drawbacks. We all know that we have to interact with our co-workers and be cordial but sometimes our co-workers like to over step their bounds by asking personal questions and trying to pry in our private affairs. I think that the office is not a good place to discuss other workers and to put your business out there because it can be used against you at another date.
There are a lot of people gathering at each others desk and excluding others who are not in the clique or so-called popular crowd. If you see this happening it is a good idea to stand your ground and not associate yourself with these people in these cliques because it is a slippery slope into gossiping and someone could say that you were talking about someone when you weren't.
Also, there is a problem with people trying to compete with other women by buying more expensive clothing and making negative comments against the women who aren't.
What you can do is, when these folks come to you with all this foolishness and asking you personal questions, is to cut them short, right when they do it the first time. Make sure that you don't make negative comments to any of your co-workers and you can avoid this.
Do not say anything negative about your boss at all, even if you do not like him or her.
Don't spend large amounts of money to try to fit in in your work environment but make sure that you dress neatly and respectable for your position and look nice for your personal budget.
You may not be able to control your environment but you can control how you react to your environment and command respect.
If you are dealing with an office bully, promptly, let you employer know exactly what this person is doing, so, you can protect yourself.
