Updated with K/R! Can you help me find this blouse?

pastrygirl

Please help! I have a favorite blouse that I wear weekly, but it's coming apart at the seams. Literally. I've repaired it once, but it's falling apart again. It's cheap polyester and it's fraying like mad.

It's an animal print (mostly browns with a little white and black) short sleeve blouse with a tie v-neck. It has slightly puffy cap sleeves, but that's not terribly important to me -- I'd take any length sleeve or sleeveless.

Shapewise, it looks like this one from BR: http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=416012002

Size: L or XL
Not knit
Budget... we'll see, because I really love this top!

Thanks!!!

Would any of these work, pastrygirl?

This is an animal print, but in purple:

Different print

Also not an animal print

Thank you!!! I love all of those -- they're all going on my list, LOL. The last two fit the bill for exactly what I'm looking for, so I'll check those out! Yay!

Thanks again! I went in search of the replacement blouse today... and came home with three. Photos:
1 -- original blouse; holes keep appearing along the button area down the front
2 -- Macy's shirt, not blouse material but feels nice. Most resembles original pattern. I like the pleated neckline.
3 -- White House Black Market blouse. I really like this one, but not sure I like the visible lumps and bumps. Love the tie neck. I think the shape most resembles my original. Pricey.
4 -- another one I found at Macy's. It has yellow tones in it, so it's a little different from the others. I like that the ruffles help even out my protruding waist from the side.

I spent too much and can't keep them all. I wear short sleeves/sleeveless year-round, with sweaters/jackets in the winter.

I like #4 the most. Both the pattern and shape are very flattering.

I love #2. I like the richness and vibrancy of the colours. I also like the scale of the print in #2 on you compared to #3's print. I'm not crazy about #4.

Thanks! Looking at the pics again this morning, I'm leaning toward only keeping #2, which is good, because it was only $11.

I think both #2 and #4 look lovely, and you'd be OK with either
