We covered:

• Some personal friendship “meet-cutes” that mean more to us than our former romantic meet-cutes. Yes, our stories include blazers and jackets.
• The leather jackets in my best friend Taryn’s closet that I coveted as a teen.
• The very special friends who send you fashion links to help you in your fashion emergencies or just because they’re thinking about you.
• Making the first friendship move no matter how awkward it can be to put yourself out there
• Knowing that our personalities (and therefore being friends with us) are not for everyone
