YOUR GUIDE
I'm Sofie, a Parsons-trained fashion colorist and mom of two with almost 20 years in the fashion industry.
I’ve worked across product, color, and styling for brands including Alice + Olivia, Haute Hippie, Lucky Brand, and Alo Yoga, where I built the color department from the ground up.
Motherhood changed the way I got dressed, too. Now I teach the same instincts I've spent my career developing so you can build your eye, trust your taste, and feel like yourself again when getting dressed.

FROM THE COLORIST COMMUNITY
THE JOY CAME BACK
“I am much older than you, but your page has really changed my way of thinking about fashion. I can’t pull off everything that I admire about your style, but I feel so much better about getting dressed. It’s exactly what my closet and outlook on clothing needed. You brought the joy back that I used to feel about putting together an outfit. Very grateful.”
PRACTICAL, PERSONAL STYLE
“You have the best style advice. It’s so practical and you’re not trying to sell only current fashion. I love that you help us find our own style. So good!”
FOUND HER STYLE AGAIN
“I was feeling a little lost with my style after having my daughter. Your content is just what I needed. Thanks, and keep up the great job!”
REMEMBERED THE ART
“I grew up deeply loving fashion but became disenchanted as I saw how trends got recycled by major retailers over the years. Your account has made me remember what I loved about fashion as a child—the art. I really appreciate you and your genuine love of the craft.”
STYLE THAT GROWS WITH YOU
“Thank you for posting men’s fashion advice! It’s really helpful, especially for guys who are getting a bit older and aren’t sure how to adapt their wardrobe with the times without looking like they’re trying too hard or dressing too young. Basically me!”
A NEW-ISH MOM FEELS SEEN
“I’m new here, and as a new-ish mom, I have to say I love this introduction and am absolutely appreciating this page so far!”
FASHION SPARKED AGAIN
“I’m a mom of two under two, and when I found your page a light went on for me about style. You sparked my interest in fashion again after almost twenty years.”
STYLE THROUGH EVERY SEASON
“Your posts are so refreshing—not the same old ‘what can I sell you today?’ I remember how difficult the new-mom years were as a former fashion girl, and I find this empty-nester stage equally challenging. It can be difficult to find my style voice these days, but on the days I get it right, there’s no better feeling. Style truly is wellness.”
SAVED FOR THE FIT KNOW-HOW
“I love what you do and how you do it. I’ve bookmarked so many of your posts. Proportion and fit are so important, and you know them well.”
BOLDER WITH HER OUTFITS
“You encouraged me to be more bold with my outfits.”
REAL ADVICE THAT TEACHES
“Thanks for being real! I learn so much from you.”
CONSISTENTLY HELPFUL
“Your posts are always so helpful!”
A SIMPLE RULE THAT WORKS
“The three-color rule is truly helpful.”

BEFORE YOU JOIN
No. The entire challenge is built around seeing and styling your existing closet differently. If you choose to shop later, you’ll do it with a much clearer point of view.
Nothing happens. This is style practice, not a perfect-attendance contest. Pick up where you left off, repeat a prompt, or jump back in with the current theme.
No. Sharing can make the experience richer, but it is never required. You can participate quietly, post only when you want feedback, or simply learn by watching.
You can send in a question ahead of time, and the replay will be added to the private community so you can watch on your schedule.
Yes. You do not need fashion vocabulary or a perfectly organized closet. The prompts start with noticing, trying, and learning what feels right on you.
No. The challenge is for anyone who wants a more intentional relationship with personal style. Sofie’s work is made for cool moms, cool dads, and everyone ready to stop defaulting.
Your Style Library access continues after the 30 days, so the lessons can keep working long after the challenge ends.
Free content gives you ideas. Ditch the Default gives you a sequence, daily practice, a private room to ask questions, direct feedback, a live session, and resources you can return to.
