A gorgeous gown like that may be a little out of our reach, but luckily, the girls at Scarves Dot Net have you covered. Check out our Gatsby-inspired looks for less to get your wardrobe swingin’:

Introducing Knots for Hope

Knots for Hope cancer resource

For the past few months, the SDN Gals have busy bees, working hard to debut a new resource that’s oh-so dear to our hearts. You may have noticed that in October we debuted the SDN Spotlight series, which highlights the stories of amazing bloggers affected by cancer — but that was just the beginning.

Today, we are beyond excited to bring you Knots for Hope: a place of inspiration and support for those affected by cancer. Whether you, your mother, daughter, sister, friend, co-worker, or neighbor has been personally touched by this disease, we sincerely hope this resource serves as a reminder that you are not alone.

Complete with real life stories that start in our own backyard and reach across the globe, informative cancer resources, and a bevy of beautiful head scarf tutorials, the goal of Knots for Hope is to foster an environment of understanding and support for real women dealing with this very real disease.

Please, join our conversation today and start knotting for hope!
