I have way too many clothes to post here, lol. I'm a grrl, though, and prone to being a bit of a clothes horse. However, in the spirit of keeping our budget manageable, I go through my closet at least once a year, optimally twice. I pull out anything I haven't worn in 6 months (unless it's a seasonal thing), anything I'm not wearing because of a stain or because I don't like it anymore, and anything that doesn't fit. I either give it away, or donate it (provided its in good shape). I don't buy anything new unless I can immediately think of something to replace with it.
I keep two or three nice outfits, for parties or dress-up functions, and the rest ranges from chinos to jeans. Using the above method, I keep my clothes fresh and "wearable" and my closet manageable, and still manage to have some variety in what I wear. My hubby hates to shop, and we're actually right about to have to go shopping for him. He wears clothes until they literally fall apart, and he sometimes has a hard time finding something to wear when we have to dress for something other than work. He manages a bar, so he can wear tshirts and jeans... which of course contributes to the wear and tear on his clothing. We'll probably throw everything on his side of the closet away in a few weeks and replace all of his every day wear.
