A Shawl Tie -- How to use (continued)

As one can see in the photo, the buttons keep the shawl tie fasten to the shawl at all times (so it would not be lost) and one can put the shawl on or take it off without unfastening the buttons; still one has the choice to take out the tie and use some other closure on the neck area. This shawl is my favorite for now. I'm sure I'll come up with another different design which will end up being my next favorite.
