Leopard Shoes! - Day 16

When I had my girl's day with my Mom the other day, I was so excited to find a nice pair of leopard shoes!  I have been looking for a pair of leopard heels for 3 years.  The few pairs that I have found were either super uncomfortable or too expensive.  I was thrilled with my purchase.  I can't wait to use them in my wardrobe.

I keep a list of items that I really want to add to my wardrobe and I give myself permission to purchase them when I find them.  These items are (usually) classic items that will work in many seasons and with many outfits.  This list is usually quite short and consists of items that have been hard for me to find.  

Do you have a "unicorn" item that you have been searching for?  What is your rule when deciding what to purchase for your wardrobe?  Do you have rules?  I would love to hear all about it!
