Michelle Obama has a section of her wardrobe called have to have. These are items that don't make sense but remind her of how much she loves fashion and life for that matter. She says you never find these items when you're looking for them so it's always when you're not looking for them too. "I've been telling myself no for so long and just opening up to possibility has like totally changed the way that I think about dressing you"
