My dog has a bigger wardrobe than I do!

So you want a Yorkie?  Here are a few more tips on what you'll need for your new puppy.

Bedding
Since Yorkies are such small pets, yours will need proper bedding at night if you don't plan to sleep with him.  Jack used to sleep with my parents, but since he wakes up at about six a.m. each morning and tackles the face of whoever's nearby, he got kicked out fast.  We keep him in his playpen at night with a little bed, a Snuggie dog pillow, a blanket, and a kennel in case he wants to curl up in the dark.  He never sleeps in one place.  One night he'll sleep on the Snuggie pillow and the next he'll sleep in his kennel.  We also give Jack a potty pad in case he needs to use the bathroom in the night and a stuffed toy to keep him quiet when he wakes up early.

If you get your Yorkie puppy as a baby, he may have issues crying in the night.  We bought a hot water bottle in a dog-shaped pillow and would place it in Jack's playpen at night with him when he was a baby.  It took a couple of weeks before he stopped crying at night, but the hot water bottle was ultimately a great idea.  Whatever you do, if your puppy cries during the night, don't go and hold it until it's quiet.  If you leave it alone, it will eventually go to sleep.

Collars/Leashes/Identification
Since most Yorkies are (and probably should be) house pets, I don't think that a collar or identification tags are really that necessary for every day use.  Jack has a tiny collar and we put it on him if we take him on a road trip and have to use a leash.  I recommend that you get an inexpensive collar and leash because you may need it at times, but I don't think a big metal tag is necessary since Yorkies are so small.  You may want to have your vet implant an identification chip somewhere on your actual dog in case he runs off, but that's also entirely optional.

Clothes
If you live in an area with lots of snow and cold weather, then you may want to consider getting your Yorkie a sweater of some sort.  Yorkies aren't so fragile that they have to have a coat on every time they go outside, but since they don't have an undercoat like most dogs and they're so small, they can get cold easily.

A sweater is entirely optional, but if your puppy will be out in the snow for very long at a time, it may be something to consider.  Personally, I love puppy sweaters.  Jack practically has a little wardrobe of his own.
