You Should Smile More – Bernie the Cat Graphic Tee for Women
Because nothing says “mind your own business” quite like Bernie holding a mug of pure defiance. This Graphic T-shirt is for every woman who’s ever been told to “cheer up,” “lighten up,” or “look friendlier” and rolled her eyes so hard she saw her brain.
Designed by Sydney artist Akanksha Kaushik in her Cosmic Dots studio, Bernie’s smug little face and “NOPE” mug make it clear: your smile is yours to give, not theirs to demand. Wear it like your personal force field against unsolicited life advice.
Perfect for coffee runs, casual hangs, or days when your mood is none of their business.
