Wrap it around your neck and tie it loosely in front. Pin the ends with a pretty brooch to hold it in place.

A small shawl can easily be transformed into a belt by gathering the shawl lengthwise and either cinching it around your waist or inserting it into each of your belt loops and tying it at the front. You can tuck the ends back through the belt loops or let them hang loose for a casual look.
