Calling all 'Autumns' - where can I find summer clothes in the right colours?

Hi
I went shopping yesterday with my Debenhams vouchers. After hours of traipsing round I came home empty handed!
I am 5'3 with autumn colouring and I couldn't find a single thing in my colours, well nothing that I liked anyway.
Fellow autumns please tell me what you are wearing this summer and where I can buy the right colours.
I haven't got the time or energy to keep having failed shopping trips.
I really need to use the debenhams vouchers for my clothes as bit short of funds at the moment to spend too much elsewhere, although open to suggestions as am just desperate to find the right colours!

I'm fairly new to the whole colours thing, but here are a few things I would consider buying:

Orange dress

another orange dress

berry dress

butterfly blouse

green t-shirt

Taupe Top

I got this brown T-shirt from the Wallis outlet in my local Debenhams. I wear it all the time, washes well, hasn't faded, minimal ironing required. Also in coral and taupe if they're your colours.

I'm a newly diagnosed autumn leaf so apart from that brown I haven't managed to find any deep rich moss greens or deep tan/chestnuts. Will be interested in links if you find anything.

I go for colours like cream, sand, coral, apricot, mushroom, warm grey, warm reds, aubergine, warm purples, mink.

I've found loads of basics in H&M, Kookai and Zara.

I use scarves in autumn colours quite a bit as well, especially if I'm wearing non-autumn coloured tops.

Have you tried searching the site for specific colours? I found some nice things under 'khaki' and 'coral' - both big colours at the moment.
