Closet Philosophy

Ep 4: Making good with Sophia Hall — Thrifting, style, and taking up space


Listen Later

In this episode of Closet Philosophy, we meet Sophia Hall, the vibrant force behind @makegood on Instagram. Sophia is a secondhand style expert who turned childhood thrift store adventures into a thriving online business serving women of all sizes—especially those who often feel ignored by the fashion industry.

We talk about:

  • Growing up as the youngest of eight and learning to dress for survival, identity, and joy
  • Why the fashion industry still isn’t cutting it for plus-size folks—and how secondhand can offer freedom and power
  • Sophia’s honest, empathetic approach to styling clients, from measurements to mindset shifts
  • The magic of her Instagram Live sales, where community, confidence, and clothes come together
  • How women of all ages and sizes can reclaim comfort, color, and self-expression—even in a world that tells us to shrink

Plus: unexpected styling hacks, Billie Eilish shoutouts, the secret weapon of the men’s section, and why one of her customers once watched a live sale from the front row of a Botticelli concert (yes, really).

✨ Subscribe now so you don’t miss next week’s episode—because we’re just getting started unpacking what style can really do.
