my mom thinks i have too much clothes. the thing is, i don't really. i mean it's not that i have only 5 shirts or 5 pants or anything...not that little but i swear i've worn every shirt, skirt, and pants at least 100 times, dead serious. it's not that we're poor or anything, we're not. we could definitely afford more clothes. and no i cannot do chores around the house, we have a housekeeper. how can i get my mom to get over the fact that i DON'T have too many clothes??? i probably only have like 15 shirts and 10 pants and skirts...that's supposed to last me??? sorry but please help i will rate

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
well you can try to babysit or get a job, im not sure how old you are. but really..thats not to many clothes.. at all. i have about 14 pairs of jeans, and over 100 shirts. so you dont have to much. i do.
talk to your mom .. maybe you can come up with a reasonable number of stuff. like 20 shirts, so you dont have to repeat for a month.
do you have any younger bro/sisters.. maybe you can baby sit them?

Ok, so here's a question for you to think on :
Why are you relying on your mom for the clothes?
So you can't do chores around the house. There are other ways to make a buck or two. If you are over 16, and even over 14 in some places, get a part time job that would allow you to buy some of your own things. Mom might just be impressed enough that she pitches in some on the price. If you don't meet the age requirements for your location for part-time work, then think about other avenues that you can use to get the cash. For instance:
You can't do the cleaning, you have someone to do that for you. Think about the other things that need to be done around the house. Does Fido need walksies? Does mom need someone to watch a younger sibling for a few hours while she runs errands? Maybe mom needs some help cooking, or even planning the family meals? Show mom some initiative, she may show you the money.
If the money just isn't going to come out of the household budget, try this. Find some subject you're good at and offer younger kids in your neighborhood tutoring. If you don't think you can tutor, trying learning basic web design, or some kind of craft skill (making jewelry, for instance) that you can learn in short order and then sell to your friends. At that point you're not just getting your new clothes, you're getting experience in how to run a business and getting a reputation for being a smart/creative/artistic person.
The whole point here is to take the initiative and find alternative ways to get the things that you want. You won't be able to rely on Mom eternally, and starting to learn now how to do and get the things you want with her help will only make you a stronger, smarter, and in this case, better dressed person in the years ahead.

Tell your mom with things going through the wash and stuff, just because it seems like a lot doesn't always mean that amounts going to be sitting, ironed, ready to go to wear at any time. No, you might need a few extras to tie in with outfits you already have. And say you have a skirt and shirt that you wear together.... your going to need more matches so you get more use out of what you do have! So tell her in order to use what you do have, you need a few extra things. Tell her a 'few' to lay it on easy! Also mention how your a girl, and wanting a big wardrobe isn't a terrible thing, it's just your nature! Good Luck!

Well, If you really are bored with your cloths, you could show that you are responsible and donate some of your cloths to a charity like the salvation army. That way you would be helping out other people, and you wouldn't have enough cloths anymore, so your mom would have to buy you more cloths! Tell your mom that you really want to help kids that need it, and that you know they need those cloths more than you!
Hope I Helped!
