Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
If your mom thiinks and tells you that you have enough clothes to wear, why not sell them on Facebook, or put up posters about the shirts you want to get rid of. Make money out of it if your mom isn't willing to buy you new clothes. After all, you worked to earn the money after all. If you're interested in Forver 21 make sure you get some bright, not too flashy color clothes for the winter. If you want to start new for Christmas get a few red, or green T-shirts or get a red, or green tank tops to go with your Tee!! Good luck! :D

Try taking your clothes to consignment shops to get some money back for them, like Plato's Closet.
Do chores without being asked or without asking for something in return, to show your mom that youre being responsible (which you should always do in the first place).
Thrift stores are AWESOME because what youre finding at forever 21 is a remake of all the old clothes you could find on your own. I shop at thrift stores all the time to find cute clothes.
Try to babysit, wash cars, etc.. for a little extra cash. When I was youre age, Id sell jewelry I made, wash neighbors cars, and babysit.
Things you want should be earned. New clothes arent a necessity so you have to earn them. Good luck!

Why not go hit up some thrift stores? A lot of the time they still have the tags on them. Or you could trade with your friends. I'm sure they have stuff that you like. :)

Wanting, getting and mom being able to afford buying are three different areas of conversation.
In today's economic times we have to be more frugal than possibly in times past. There are factors at play here that you are not aware of and as a child, yes in this instance you are the child, you need not be aware of these factors.
You parents income only goes so far. Employers are hard pressed to keep people employed. To do so many companies are not giving out raises or bonuses. This means your parents are paying today's bill and buying today's necessities with yesterdays incomes. I hope you understand the meaning of what I just said.
They are paying more for things such as food, gasoline, electric, water the necessities of life, with the same income they made one or two years ago. Yet all of these things have increased in cost. This means they have less surplus income to pay for things you may WANT but don't really NEED.
If the clothes you have are still serviceable, and still fit you, you may have to put up with not having the in style cloths you want until you actually NEED to replace something until it no longer fits you or is no longer serviceable.
The one thing you can do to help yourself is: In many states being 13 you are old enough to babysit. If your parents are in agreement with you babysitting then contact neighbors and friends who may need or know of friends who need babysitters. The money you earn you can spend on the clothes you want.
Otherwise all you can do is wait until mom can actually afford to buy you the clothes you want or wait until mom feel you need new clothes. Do yourself a favor here and don't write back to me and say mom or dad can afford to buy you whatever you want. You don't know that for sure and your not suppose to know things like that. Family economics is a worry for parents not children.
I'm sure you don't like what I wrote but this is just the facts of life at this time. As a parent I can tell you it hurts when we have to say no to our children when they truly want something; especially like stylish clothing. Please don't bug your mother over this. I'm sure when she has the extra money she will put you ahead of whatever her knees may be.

Try doing more things around the house to earn more money or just ask for them for Christmas.

Try doing some chores around the house and see if you can get some baby sitting jobs to make money to buy your own clothes. Your Mom may feel better paying for some of your clothes if you make an effort to get a job and buy them yourself. Get a job walking the neighbors dog, or dog sitting. Ask your mother what you can do to earn money.
