~~Update~~
When I wear a scarf as a belt -
If it is a long rectangle shape I tie it in a square knot and let the ends hang loose, like here.
If it is a large square (like today), I fold it in half diagonally, fold into a long strip, tie it in a square knot and tuck the ends (sorry for the poor photo quality, but I snapped some quick pics in the mirror with my blackberry to answer Andrea's question).

Quick q from the belting dummy here - when you do a scarf as a belt, do you just make a big bow in the back or what? I think I need a picture of the back of the outfit, lol.
I love all the vibrant reds and oranges you have going on here. It makes me cheerful and happy and it makes you glow.
You have an amazing talent for mixing patterns and colours. That scarf reminds me of a beautiful sunset.
I love the red shoes and really admire the jewelled ones you did yourself!

Thanks, ladies! I never wear this much red, but it was fun being so bright on a blustery Saturday!
SweetTorts - I did get your address and you should have the CD by mid-week! :-)
Andrea - hopefully you have checked back and the extra pictures help show how I wear a "scarf belt".
This is so pretty - and I loooove my Target bag like this. I use mine all the time.
