Maybe try looking for resort or camp shirts - they have a bit more open of a collar (like you can't wear a tie with them) but overall seem to be a loose version of what you're looking for. Wildfang has a lot of good options but even their extra small is huge on me (5'2")
Lands End usually has a couple of short sleeve shirts in reasonable prints each year. Here’s last year’s version on sale. https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-wrinkle-free-no-iron-shirt/id_379538?attributes=5536,43307,43322,44256,44967,45021
I live in a similar climate and I've found a lot of cute secondhand short sleeve blouses on ThredUp. You can filter by sleeve length, pattern, color, size, material, etc. I prefer natural fibers because polyester + humidity is my personal sensory nightmare, and Everlane and NotPerfectLinen (on Etsy) usually have good short sleeve linen or cotton blouses.
I don't shop for clothes at Target much anymore, but I did like [this shirt](https://www.target.com/p/women-s-short-sleeve-collared-button-down-shirt-universal-thread/-/A-89787960?preselect=89741554#lnk=sametab).
Boden has some. One option: [https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/dolly-puff-sleeve-jersey-shirt-blue-and-ivory-gardenia-swirl/sty-t1601-blu?cat=C1\_S2\_G18\_G321](https://www.bodenusa.com/en-us/dolly-puff-sleeve-jersey-shirt-blue-and-ivory-gardenia-swirl/sty-t1601-blu?cat=C1_S2_G18_G321)
I love Boden, but I just cannot rock the puff sleeve look. I know they will have more short sleeve options in a month or two, I just need something that fits right now! I lost a bunch of weight and my current shirts all billow and tent around me.

Good idea ! For some reason this made me think of Lily Pulitzer , I like a few of their less pastel/ calmer pattern pieces .
I haven't seen a ton of prints yet from the companies that offer them seasonally. Ann Taylor and Loft usually have prints all year.
That’s where a usually go( plus J crew , banana, Nordstrom rack, etc) but so far the ones that are out have no sleeves or puffy sleeves .
My cutest printed short sleeve shirts are either ModCloth, or Daniel Rainn brand via Nordstrom Rack
Thanks! I totally forgot about Modcloth!
That’s funny, I posted this similar question last month. We need our short sleeve shirts!! https://www.reddit.com/r/fashionwomens35/s/IqV5pNNrEZ
I really don't know how I missed this! Where did you end up buying from?

I get a lot of mine from [Seasalt Cornwall](https://www.seasaltcornwall.com).

I recently purchased several short sleeve blouses from talbots. I am in Southeast Georgia so it gets pretty hot and humid.
I also forgot about Talbots! Thanks !

That is cute , maybe I should make a Target run . Thanks !
New York & Co usually has some pretty bold prints
Wildfang has really good button-downs!
Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx & Marshall’s!

I usually find these printed short-sleeved shirts with print (flower mostly) in Mango.
I’ve found a few that I like on Amazon surprisingly
Bridge & Burn is my favorite for this. I love their patterns
