We Are Summer Lovin' Our Pop-Ups!

This summer MADI Apparel has hosted two pop-up shops in our beautiful Kansas City flagship store and will be hosting a third later this month! These pop-up shops are Noble Native by Sarah Hicks, By Grace Designs by Emily Moon, and Modern Mija by Emily Sharp. Each one is socially conscious through sustainable and slow-fashion. Although two of  the pop-up shops have officially moved out of MADI (Noble Native and By Grace Designs), we still want to tell you about these awesome boss babe-run companies!

Modern Mija - Sarah Sharp

Modern Mija is a new brand that focuses on modern and trendy clothing for children. Sharp’s mission is to provide children with clothing that is just as fashionable as the clothing worn by the adults who surround them.

Outfit of the Week: Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has finally sprung here and we've been doing a happy dance ever since! Time to break out your dresses and your open-toe wedges and get out on the town! This outfit is the perfect way to step out in style this spring, an off-the-shoulder dress is right on trend and summer suede's are all the rage! The Bonnie's are perfect to wear with loose dresses, providing comfort, coverage and no chance of a "VPL" (visible panty line)!
We're starting this outfit with The Bonnie- High Rise Retro Brief in Lavender and we're topping it with an off-the-shoulder dress accented with lace trim. We're accessorizing with a black shoulder bag with gold details and a pair of suede, open-toe, espadrille wedges! Lastly, jewelry for the night includes black tassel earrings, a gold choker and a gold cuff bracelet.

MADI underwear aren't just perfect to wear out and about with your friends or at work, they're perfect to cozy up in right at home! This week's outfit was inspired by the recent winter that seems to have suddenly appeared! If it wasn't cold before it sure is now, and that means it's the perfect time to snuggle up on your couch with a fire and binge watch the new Gilmore Girls episodes!
We're starting with The Pamela-Ivory Cheeky Brazilian underwear and layering over them a basic pair of black leggings. Then, on top, we're putting on our coziest sweatshirt in a perfectly seasonal color! We're keeping the outfit simple and topping it off with a pair of fur-lined slippers.
