I'm creating a level 10 sorcerer/rogue character for my next campaign. In the proficiencies section it clearly states that as a rogue I have proficiency with light armor. However, if I equip a pride silk outfit it's imposes disadvantage on all strength and dexterity skills? What's going on?! Is this a bug?

On your sheet go to proficiencies section and click the gear icon. Under "add new proficiencies" in the sidebar that opens choose Existing - Armor and then choose Pride Silk Outfit.
Explanation
D&D Beyond cannot implement Pride Silk Outfit properly since it is not a magic item and it acts like armour without being armour.
The system labels it as Light Armour but it isn't armour, so it has a unique proficiency requirement even though all characters are proficient with it (because it's clothing, not armour). In other words, you will not be proficient no matter what armour proficiencies your class or feats grant you. So, your character is regarded as lacking proficiency hence the issues.
