Affectional Emoji Apparel

This Emoji Shirt Cries Tears of Joy

This raglan emoji shirt by Shop Jeen is perfect for text-savvy shoppers.

Oftentimes, our physical reactions don't align with the emotion we're experiencing. For instance, when you laugh so hard you cry (or pee your pants) or cry so hard you laugh (at really weird, inappropriate moments). Or, like this shirt conveys, when you're so overwhelmed by love and affection, you burst into tears. As the quote goes, "we laugh, we cry..."

Emojis have pretty much overtaken language when it comes to texting, with users being able to carry entire conversations without typing a single word. Now, with apparel such as this emoji shirt being thrown into the mix, we won't even have to emote at all!
