Mama Manifesto: Friday Giveaways: Larrivo Maternity/Nursing Top

Our next giveaway is for a beautiful nursing top from Larrivo! To familiarize you with Larrivo, we'd love to tell you a bit about their founder and how she developed a passion for nursingwear:

"It's one of those “conversion stories”.... I originally made a 3 month commitment to breastfeeding just for the health benefits. It turned into an amazing 13 month life changing experience. I couldn’t find anything that was remotely fashionable and had the idea for Larrivo which is Italian for “the arrival”. Two patents and five years later we’ve been achieving our mission of helping new moms look and feel beautiful while breastfeeding. The collection is fashion forward and we enjoy a large celebrity following. The fabrics are fantastic to the hand and the fit is great. All the pieces of the collection can be worn as innerwear, loungewear or daywear. How a customer wears it depends on what color or print they select, what piece they select and how they feel about themselves when they put it on. Some women just want to wear Larrivo to bed. Others want to wear it out and all tell us that it’s so comfortable, fashionable and functional that they never want to take it off!!"

Larrivo has a great line of nursing camisoles and nightgowns that are perfect for lounging in comfort at home. They are very figure flattering and forgiving as the body changes shape post partum. The bulit-in nursing bra is comfortable and supportive and the snaps are very user friendly, and the camisoles are pretty enough to be worn alone or under another shirt.

To be entered in this giveaway, please leave us a comment answering the following:

"What is your favorite around-the-house outfit?"

My favorite around the house outfit is a lilac velor lounge suit from Fresh Produce. Embarrassing, but true.

My favorite is a velour jumpsuit too. I'm trying to step up the fashion....
LindseyAugust 28, 2009 at 7:10 AM
As I am currently 38 weeks pregnant, my favorite "around the house" outfit is either one of my two moo moos from Old Navy. One is red and one is black and white. I refer to the black and white one as my "formal moo moo".

Thanks for the opportunity!
KatieAugust 28, 2009 at 7:37 AM
Any drawstring pants and a tank! Thx for the chance...feel like I've been nursing for 3 yrs non-stop...on my 2nd nurser!

I live in glamour mom nursing tanks and yoga pants. Not very flattering but it works for me!!! :)
JessicaAugust 28, 2009 at 1:50 PM
I don't have a favorite lounge around the house outfit. Five weeks post-partum and nothing fits and nothing is comfy.
MaricelAugust 29, 2009 at 10:03 PM
moo moos :)
ElizabethAugust 30, 2009 at 5:00 AM
I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant and I have an active 18 monther so right now my favorite around the house outfit is a pair of black old navy stretch capris and any t-shirt thats clean and still fits.

sweatpants from Old Navy and an old pink t shirt that has a hole and a bleach stain. Usually a zippy sweatshirt too- always cold.
MJAugust 31, 2009 at 11:58 AM
Yoga pants and a regular cami- I really wish I had invested in better nursing tops.

3 months post-partum - still fat - anything with about 80% spandex will work. Love Bravado nursing tank.
Jodie MacSeptember 1, 2009 at 1:56 PM
Brown Gap Dress with spaghetti straps and shaped like a tent.
AnonymousSeptember 1, 2009 at 6:16 PM
I have a newborn. So my favorite thing to wear is jammies with a comfy nursing bra. A nursing top would be awesome! ~Jennifer
KirstenSeptember 3, 2009 at 11:16 PM
My fav thing to wear ALL THE TIME is my (semi)skinny jeans and a black tank-top... because I always feel like I look good in that outfit.
