About Us

A Day In Our Shirt was founded by me, Adriana, a mum who was exhausted, lonely and isolated after having my 2 babies. It felt as though the village I had envisioned when I was pregnant with my daughter had suddenly disappeared once she was born. Dealing with the anxieties of being a first time mum, I stayed home and felt myself going even crazier. So I decided to do something about it.

I started reaching out to other mums in nearby areas thanks to an app I had found. By messaging these mums, I had an outlet. A way to feel less crazy, less anxious and less alone. I started venturing out and meeting up with the mums I connected with and wow, it made a huge difference to my mental health. I started to realise that this was what I needed - a community, a village, other mums that I could talk to about all aspects of motherhood. This was the first spark that slowly led me to the journey of starting ADIOS. But the second spark? That was all thanks to my son.

After having my second baby, I was exhausted. Exhausted from getting next to no sleep thanks to my young baby boy being a terrible sleeper. Exhausted from trying to find t-shirts that were comfortable, that I genuinely liked, wanted to wear and that I felt like I 'connected' with.

After searching for months for tee's and finding nothing that I loved, I decided to start making my own. My first design was inspired by my son's crappy sleep - tiredAF. I printed this on a tee, took a photo, uploaded it onto my Instagram page and boom. I was getting messages from so many mums asking where I got my shirt from because they resonated with it and we started chatting about our experiences. This was the second spark for me. Realising that these t-shirts that I had designed and worn led to conversations - genuine, heart-led and deep conversations - about motherhood. And it brought me back to what I was missing - a village.

I came up with my designs with the intention of having them spark conversations between mums. I know how hard it can be to feel alone. I know how hard it can be to not have the village you hoped for. And I know all about the anxieties of trying to chat with and make new mum friends. But doing something so simple like wearing a t-shirt can help you in finding your own village.
