I guess there's no set rule, but in your mind, at what point is a compliment considered to be a little too forward or even inappropriate in a work setting?
You do not compliment anyone on their looks. When I was working, I was very surprised when a male administrator told me how nice I looked at back to school night and how much he liked my outfit. I was flattered but it was inappropriate. Some people would have reported it but I knew that he was sincere and being young, may not have known better.
Only compliment the work. Most people do not hear that enough.

Hmmm.... I've complimented women before who I work with. I told one woman in particular who kept herself in good shape that she looks healthy. I almost said that her body looks healthy, but that may have been too sexualized.

Either that, or tell her how good that sexy outfit makes her **** look, and let us know how you like searching for a new job.
Wow, that's crazy. What does her work have to do with her appearance? I couldn't give a damn how good her work is.

If the word "graphic" could possibly be applied at all, then NO. And don't say she looks healthy or anything like that either. In fact, maybe don't compliment her physical appearance at all, with the exception of very obviously new looks, like a drastic new haircut. In that case, a simple "I like your new haircut" is plenty, and only because ignoring something really obvious would be weird.
