I just went through my closet in preparation for my move and was so excited because I didn't find much to get rid of! That's the opposite of me usually, but it means I actually wear most everything in my closet! 
I wanted to share what I have and a few pieces I plan to buy to round it out. I like to wear very basic clothes (except cute skirts, those are my weak spot), and I've restricted myself to mainly black, denim, brown/tan/khaki, shades of purple, and green. I do have other colors in my wardrobe but as those pieces need to be replaced I plan to replace them with the above colors. I might even pick just one color (ie. purple OR green) in the future. So I'm sure this will sound really boring for some of you, but I'm pumped. 
Here's what's in my closet:
*Dressy: one red kind of casual dress, one black fancy prom-type dress JIC, one pair black dress pants, one black skirt, one blue business/dressy blouse, one blue cardigan. I'd like to get one more dressy/church shirt that would work with the black skirt OR over my red dress since it is a sleeveless dress.
*Basic/everyday: two pairs jeans, one pair khakis, a long and a short denim skirt, a short khaki skirt, two fun casual skirts (one my sis made for me!), two fun sarongs (for use as swimsuit coverups but they will also work over yoga pants and stuff and they do match my wardrobe), 5 long-sleeved shirts T-shirts (3 black, 1 purple, 1 white), a bright orange hoody (I wear this ALL the time but need to replace it in a color I can wear with more), a black polo, 5 short-sleeved T-shirts (1 tan, 1 green, 1 brown sparkly, 1 patterned blue and 1 patterned orange that are both reaching the end of their attractive life and will be gone/replaced soon), 3 sleeveless shirts (1 brown, 1 green, 1 black), and a brown maternity tank top that I love even when not pregnant.
*I do have some maternity stuff saved: one pair each jeans, khakis, black pants, and shorts, several shirts, and two nursing bras.
*Not really appropriate for out & about
: gray yoga pants (I also want to buy another pair in black or a fun color), one pair cut-off shorts and a white T-shirt for messy projects, 4 exercise and lounging shirts (2 long-sleeved, 1 short-sleeved, 1 sleeveless), 2 sleep tanks and 2 pairs of sleep shorts.
*Other: underwear (12 pairs plus a couple special pieces of lingerie), socks (12 pairs white, 2 pairs black, 2 pairs tan/brown). I plan to replace my white socks and underwear before the move, they are all getting old. Then two regular bras, one stretchy one (very comfortable but not very flattering, for lounging around), one sports bra (I may get another), one strapless bra, swimsuits (I have two but I'd like to get one nice one-piece and get rid of both of them), a pair of nylons, and a pair of warm gray tights.
And that's it! That's all that's in my closet!
I don't know if anyone but me will appreciate that, but I HAD to share my morning project.

All my "basic daily" clothes are a level of nice that allows me to go out and about (they'd be fine for volunteering, of course depending on where I was volunteering). I hate wearing shorts so I wear the same bottoms (skirts or pants) all year round. Where I am moving it doesn't get just stifling nasty hot very many days out of the year so I err on the warm side too. I may get one pair of shorts for the lake when I move, if I can find some that flatter me. BLEEECH shorts. 
So I don't know, ymmv.
Wowie kazowie! Between my DH and I we take up probably 7 feet of bar. HIDEOUS!!! I so want to pare down... I know that I don't wear alot of the stuff I have... It's just getting the gumption up to go through everything. And my DH? "Hey, where are all of my t-shirts?"... He has like 30 t-shirts. I got rid of about 7 or 8 a few weeks ago, and it was the end of the world. He still has teal dress pants from when he was in high-school. 
But we are working on it all the time, and I think we'll get to the point where we have only what we need before too long. I so look forward to the remodel and the absoluteness of just having NOWHERE to go with the extra crap but OUT.
