I could go maybe 3 weeks, maximum, without repeating. Lately I've started to take the advice of shows like "What Not to Wear" and build a wardrobe of jackets, classic black pants, etc. that can be mixed and matched into a lot of different outfits . . . but on the whole, I don't have a ton of different individual items.

I'm a combination of several posters, but I'd also have to distinguish between category:
Non-work: I could probably go at 3 months or so (not counting t-shirts, which I have 3+ months worth but rarely wear.)
Work: I could probably easily go 4-5 months (guess-timate).
So, altogether, I could easily get about a year including work, non-work, t-shirts and dresses).
But like some others, I typically have a 2-3 week rotations of what I like at the moment.
And what it really means is that I need to weed through them and give a lot away.

I gave away a lot of clothes in 2008 to friends. More than half were new and unworn and others worn but high end. Then I started to get smarter and sold a bunch on ebay. But I only gave away and sold clothes that didn't fit me anymore
lol I keep things for a long time b/c I can always find a way to revamp the entire look. I just need to stop buying them now. My closet can't handle it anymore.

I buy a lot of cloths and don't wear half of them often enough so I end up giving away a lot of stuff every two years or so. Also, this year I put on a lil bit of weight and all of it went to my boob and hip area so a bunch of my dresses didn't fit me anymore
I gave a lot of them away...

I'm a little like COBI in that it depends on what category of clothing we're talking about -
Work: 2 weeks - could be 3 if I wasn't so precious about the dresses I purposely bought to be suitable for work and non-work. When I get dresses, I don't like wearing them too much because I don't want them going all scabby and bobbly from too much washing.
Weird I know, and I worked out the other day prob illogical 'cause one day in a few years I may decide I don't like them anymore/they just look really outta place with fashion trends so I'll have to ditch them and I'll only have worn them a little!
Non-work: 6 months - last year I had a major blitz of my wardrobe. I chucked anything that didn't get me feeling good and then I replaced it all over several months and bought tonnes of dresses.
But no tops hence the work one being so different (I normally wear top plus jeans for work).
For me clothes are really important in the way I feel about myself so whilst some would say I've wasted my money, I don't feel that way at all. If I end up with a walk-in wardrobe worth one day then that'd suit me down to the ground! Hey it's one of my hobbies!

Oh, you guys. I should be so ashamed... I have so many clothes that I BROKE my closet =/
The brackets came loose from the wall that holds up the rod. The worst part is that I went shopping today. Oh.dear.god. I thought I was being sensible by not buying clothes since I can't hang them up, so I bought shoes. Talk about twisted "logic".
