Demovictory9's Journalthe notions of work wear have transformed... "casualization", may be permanent shift
In the Before Times, said Rebecca Rittenberg, a 28-year-old who works in advertising sales for Google in New York, one of her favorite parts about going to the office was showing up in a funky, cool professional outfit.
A smart pair of pants, colorful or patterned blouses, blazers, skirts, dresses, heeled boots and designer sneakers were all part of her wardrobe, which she used to express her personality and keep up with her stylish ad world colleagues.
Now, after eight months of working from home, and with Google saying workers wont have to return in person until next summer at the earliest, a big swath of that apparel has been donated and replaced. Ms. Rittenbergs new definition of work clothes includes cashmere cardigans and joggers, headbands, and other cozy garments that fall somewhere in the healthy in-between of pajamas and blazers.
I looked at my stuff I used to wear to the office all the time and thought, When am I ever going to touch this again? she said. Our mind-sets have shifted a bit with this pandemic and the fact that weve all been working from home for so long. Once we are back in the office, which I do think will happen, it just seems like a pretty extreme jump to go back to wearing a blazer and pencil skirt and heels again.
As many professional women have found themselves in an extended period of remote work, their notions of work wear have transformed, shaking up businesses that have sought to outfit them for the office. American office attire was already facing the effects of casualization even Goldman Sachs loosened its dress code last year but as the pandemic drags on, the shift is accelerating and may stick around for good.

California's median home price in September reached record $712,430
Fueled by low interest rates and a historic housing shortage, Californias median home price in September reached $712,430, closing out four straight months of record highs.
The states housing market briefly cooled in the early months in the coronavirus pandemic, but by June, they were fully on the rebound, with the median sales price reaching $626,200, the highest ever at the time, according to a report from the California Department of Finance. For the next three months, as mortgage rates stayed below 3 percent and many buyers looked to upgrade to larger homes, that number would continue to climb. In August, it exceeded $700,000 for the first time in history.
