Overstuffed closets are a common problem, and many people start out to reduce their closet clutter, but fail. Here are the top 10 reasons that old clothes remain in your closet.

1. You may need a paint shirt some day.
2. You feel guilty because you splurged and over-paid for it so, “I really should wear it.”
3. Your spouse gave it to you several Christmases ago, or for your birthday, and you lied and said, “I love it.”
4. You think it will fit again when, “I lose a few pounds.”
5. It’s your favorite college team tee-shirt with “#1” on it but they lost the next week. You think they might be #1 again someday.
6. You bought it at a rock concert/Play/soccer game so it could be worth something.*
7. “I forgot I had this. It’s kinda cute.”**
8. “This could come back in style some day.”
9. “I just need the right pants to go with this, then I’ll start wearing it.”
10. You promise yourself that: “I’ll keep it for now, but throw it out next time I clean this closet.”

*If you bought it at a soccer game, it is worthless in America.
