Dear Edda,

How do you know when it's time to throw out your old clothes? I have a lot of clothes that were very expensive when I bought them. Some are twenty years old. Bet whenever I get rid of something I think is out of date, the style comes back! The shoes I wore in high school are very trendy today. I just know if I get rid of my old suits, shoulder pads will come back. My husband says we are out of room in the closet, and that I should throw something away every time I buy something new. I think we should make the closet bigger or throw away all his old, stained sports team jerseys. What do you think?

Signed,
