Outift of the Week: Business Casual Luncheon
It's the middle of the week and you're headed to a business casual lunch with a few co-workers. Now, let's be real, business casual can sometimes feel stiff and more just like business attire, forget the casual part. However, it doesn't have to be that way! This outfit is the perfect business casual outfit, because it is a good combination of "business" and "casual" Ha! The top and pants keep it business, while the accessories help make it more casual and fashionable!
The Pamela- Cheeky Brazilian Underwear are perfect under a pair of black, ankle dress pants and a white, long, button-down shirt. Next, we've added a fun pair of leopard flats and a structured, black bag perfect for carrying your laptop and some work! Lastly, we're accessorizing with a fun gold bracelet and a pop of color on a gold pendant necklace!

Hayley Raised Awareness In....Her Underwear!
If you haven't already heard, founder Hayley Besheer spent her Christmas Eve standing in her underwear on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City. Hayley was there to represent the vulnerability that women who do not have access to new underwear might feel and raise awareness about domestic violence. One of Hayley's New Year's resolutions was to get outside her comfort zone, and this was certainly an excellent way to get started on that goal!
If you want to hear more about this amazing way Hayley raised awareness check out this video!
Hayley has also just been recognized in KC Magazine for her amazing display! Check it out here!
Girls Night Out to Support Lazarus Ministries
We recently held an event where we partnered with the Junior League of Kansas City, Missouri that we called "Girls Night Out" to support Lazarus Ministries. It was a night of shopping with complimentary wine and appetizers at MADI Apparel. 15% of all sales went to support Lazarus Ministries at Historic Grand Avenue Temple and for each pair of underwear purchased a pair was donated to a woman in need as always!
Lazarus Ministries is an organization that strives "to offer unlimited compassion while providing for the unmet needs of Kansas City’s urban core through a volunteer program which allows an opportunity for interpreting service as an expression of faith."

Founder Hayley was also featured on KCWE as well as KMBC 9 News speaking about the event!

New Distributor: clair de lune + The Great Bra Exchange
We're starting off this new year with some very exciting news! MADI Apparel is debuting the launch of sales in our newest distribution outlet THIS TUESDAY from 4-7pm at clair de lune! We're also teaming up with our new distribution partners clair de lune lingerie boutique to donate bras and underwear to Hope House!
As always, for every pair of MADI underwear sold at our storefront or any of our distribution outlets, a pair is donated to a woman. We've donated MADI underwear to Hope House twice this year, and sales of MADI through clair de lune will allow us to donate even MORE to local Hope House. The Hawthorne Plaza, Kansas boutique will launch the ongoing offering of MADI Apparel underwear on January 5th, and for every pair of underwear purchased, a new pair will be donated to Hope House.
About MADI's new collaboration with clair de lune and The Great Bra Exchange:
For the past 12 years, clair de lune's non-profit Great Bra Exchange has asked their customers to donate gently used bras to victims of domestic violence at Hope House. The event has resulted in the donation of more than 20,000 bras, and in exchange, customers receive a $15 gift certificate for a new bra.
For this year’s Great Bra Exchange, held annually Jan. 2-17, clair de lune has teamed up with us for a special event on January 5. From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. - where the boutique will launch the ongoing offering of MADI Apparel underwear. clair de lune will donate bras and MADI Apparel will donate underwear to the women of Hope House.
“Women often arrive at Hope House with nothing more than the clothes on their back,” CEO MaryAnne Methany says. “Who could imagine how important something like a bra becomes for women in their most desperate hour? And underwear tops our list of most needed under-donated articles of clothing. For women in need, undergarments mean more than a just a donation, they mean dignity.”
