Also, so&nbsp;fun that you mention the location. This is actually not the subway (most of our subway entrances aren't that charming unfortunately) but the pedestrian tunnel (bikes allowed too)&nbsp;under the river Schelde. The original stairs with lots of wood detailing are fantastic, and the tiled tunnel (looking a little dirty right now) is quite unique too (lots of photoshoots for fashion magazines have taken place here). It was built in the early 1930s and really has a special atmosphere.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tunnel_linkeroever_roltrap.jpg">http://commons.wikimedia.org/w.....oltrap.jpg</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0PDoQ2S3rxR5lEAv7OJzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBlMTQ4cGxyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1n?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dvoetgangerstunnel%2Bantwerpen%26fr%3Dyfp-t-788%26fr2%3Dpiv-web%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D9&amp;w=799&amp;h=532&amp;imgurl=www.op-reis.com%2Falbums%2Fantwerpen%2Ffotos%2Fantwerpen-voetgangerstunnel01.jpg&amp;rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.op-reis.com%2Falbums%2Fantwerpen%2Fantwerpen-148-voetgangerstunnel.htm&amp;size=140KB&amp;name=De+%3Cb%3Evoetgangerstunnel+%3C%2Fb%3Ete+%3Cb%3EAntwerpen+%3C%2Fb%3Eonder+de+Schelde+naar+Linkeroever&amp;p=voetgangerstunnel+antwerpen&amp;oid=a72851030def3af3d2921e096883ed0a&amp;fr2=piv-web&amp;fr=yfp-t-788&amp;tt=De+%3Cb%3Evoetgangerstunnel+%3C%2Fb%3Ete+%3Cb%3EAntwerpen+%3C%2Fb%3Eonder+de+Schelde+naar+Linkeroever&amp;b=0&amp;ni=160&amp;no=9&amp;ts=&amp;tab=organic&amp;sigr=12b58pent&amp;sigb=13kpk9ucv&amp;sigi=12873b08p&amp;.crumb=1mDqQU4lb8Z&amp;fr=yfp-t-788">http://images.search.yahoo.com.....cGxyBHNlYw</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0PDoKqg4LxRVBoAyJeJzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBlMTQ4cGxyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1n?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dvoetgangerstunnel%2Bantwerpen%26fr%3Dyfp-t-788%26fr2%3Dpiv-web%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D20&amp;w=1000&amp;h=667&amp;imgurl=static.skynetblogs.be%2Fmedia%2F1794%2Fdyn010_original_1000_667_jpeg_47901_67cc2f910fb3bc28fb2bdfadfdbfcaf9.2.jpg&amp;rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmartine-tysmans.skynetblogs.be%2Farchive%2F2010%2F05%2F20%2Fde-liften-van-de-antwerpse-voetgangerstunnel-krijgen-groot-o.html&amp;size=134.5KB&amp;name=De+liften+van+de+Antwerpse+%3Cb%3Evoetgangerstunnel+%3C%2Fb%3Ekrijgen+groot+onderhoud+...&amp;p=voetgangerstunnel+antwerpen&amp;oid=04524e502c1e12732d0492bea93dec45&amp;fr2=piv-web&amp;fr=yfp-t-788&amp;tt=De+liften+van+de+Antwerpse+%3Cb%3Evoetgangerstunnel+%3C%2Fb%3Ekrijgen+groot+onderhoud+...&amp;b=0&amp;ni=128&amp;no=20&amp;ts=&amp;tab=organic&amp;sigr=13qsq5fve&amp;sigb=13ljn67hu&amp;sigi=13bo02fol&amp;.crumb=1mDqQU4lb8Z&amp;fr=yfp-t-788">http://images.search.yahoo.com.....cGxyBHNlYw</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0PDoX_u4LxRmCkAIJeJzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBlMTQ4cGxyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1n?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dvoetgangerstunnel%2Bantwerpen%26fr%3Dyfp-t-788%26fr2%3Dpiv-web%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D52&amp;w=1600&amp;h=1205&amp;imgurl=4.bp.blogspot.com%2F-BKwgsHOUZsw%2FTV-B4fVtibI%2FAAAAAAAABJ4%2FEcAQeYaLf4g%2Fs1600%2FIMAG0371.jpg&amp;rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmijnmobiliteit.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F02%2Fode-aan-de-voetgangerstunnel.html&amp;size=312.7KB&amp;name=Antwerpse+mobiliteit...%3A+Ode+aan+de+%3Cb%3Evoetgangerstunnel%3C%2Fb%3E&amp;p=voetgangerstunnel+antwerpen&amp;oid=f4738c9ebf3bddc5d8c96cbcd0b45a36&amp;fr2=piv-web&amp;fr=yfp-t-788&amp;tt=Antwerpse+mobiliteit...%3A+Ode+aan+de+%3Cb%3Evoetgangerstunnel%3C%2Fb%3E&amp;b=31&amp;ni=128&amp;no=52&amp;ts=&amp;tab=organic&amp;sigr=12c38tcvv&amp;sigb=13lct1mv7&amp;sigi=12l5kllsu&amp;.crumb=1mDqQU4lb8Z&amp;fr=yfp-t-788">http://images.search.yahoo.com.....cGxyBHNlYw</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap/page/2#post-956930 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:35:13 +0000 Vildy 956930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll bet lots of passersby break into a pleased smile when they see you in that coat.&nbsp; So glad Zap was able to help you get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap/page/2#post-956924 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:24:13 +0000 CocoLion 956924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful YLF story. &nbsp;Love the coat on you Inge and your styling of the entire outfit. &nbsp;Plus I can't get over how exciting it is to see your unique (to me, in California) Belgian subway back drop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap/page/2#post-956918 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:15:42 +0000 lyn* 956918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a brilliant jacket!

It was a pleasure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap/page/2#post-956885 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:23:05 +0000 Inge 956885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So much love for the fuchsia trench, wow!-) Thanks so much for all the fab compliments and feedback everyone!!</p> <p>Ornella - Yes, it's not easy for us taller ladies, is it. (still thinking about <i>your</i> red trench-( And my word, your memory is incredible:-) Lynne and I are indeed trench twins (the fab orchid coloured Kenneth Cole trench with subtle sheen).</p> <p>TraceyLiz - Love the sound of your red trench! (I think I'd pick a cream one as my neutral, maybe not the most practical, but it looks&nbsp;so elegant).</p> <p>Claire - Your comment made me smile, so sweet.</p> <p>Velvetychocolate - LOL, which colour helmet are you thinking of,-)</p> <p>Beth Ann - *nodding*, I forgot to mention earlier that it is fully lined and has a lovely weight to it (another bonus), so perfect for Spring and Fall too.</p> <p>Joy - *smile*, you would absolutely rock a bright-coloured coat too (just saying:-) The scarf is a mid-grey actually, but it's a little hard to see in the pic.</p> <p>Adelfa - I hear you, I really do love red, but only a very cool cherry red is flattering against my skin, and that's not easy to find. Plus I've also rediscovered pinks, and lilacs, and am super chuffed to now have added fuchsia too. (And yes, I can really see different shades of pink AND fuchsia work for you too! I hope you'll post some pink looks for us soon.)</p> <p>Lyn D. - I know, I don't post that often:-) People do notice a bright-coloured coat here too. E.g. this Winter I often wore a bright green wool coat, and definitely felt a lot more people glancing at me (and fun fact: lots more people actually smiled at me too, and I am convinced it was the happy colour of the coat).</p> <p>Mona - I'll definitely try to post more pics with the trench.</p> <p>&nbsp;Diane - That is so ver sweet of you to say, thank you. And I agree 200% with your comment on how amazing a place YLF is.</p> <p>Zap - A super happy ending for sure. And all the YLF ladies are spot on: you are the best!! Thank you again trench twinnie!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap/page/2#post-956568 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:18:01 +0000 Anonymous 956568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Way to go Zap! you look perfect in the trench Inge!<br />After the trench I too noticed your shoes I love them What a stylish lady you are and what a kind helpful place YLF is </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap/page/2#post-956566 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:00:20 +0000 Mona 956566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both the colour and fit are extremely flattering on you, Inge.

And beautifully styled!</p> <p>I have been embracing pink more and more lately, and realizing that I do not prefer red even though it's a wonderful color to wear and to combine.

It really is beautiful and you look wonderful in it.</p> <p><i>(Speaking of, wasn't there an episode a while back&nbsp;with another brightly colored trench that involved you and our Aussie&nbsp;Lynne?)</i></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap#post-956032 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 20:01:04 +0000 Inge 956032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Happy smile* and so true: I would still be looking for my elusive trench if it weren't for&nbsp;Zap. So hurrah again for YLF friends!!</p> <p>Thank you so much, Rambling Ann, Glory, Shannon, Rae and Ceit.</p> <p>Vicki - The scarf/white flats combo was a happy coincidence. I grabbed the scarf because I liked it with the fuchsia and only later realized that it picked up the white of my shoes. So win-win:-) And I agree, the trench is going to work with all the colours you summed up (which happen to be the dominant colours in my wardrobe).</p> <p>High five, Zap! Our trench looks absolutely stunning on you, and that definitely helped sell it to me! And it was my pleasure, enjoy the chocolate:-)</p> <p>Yup, Suz, I see a fuchsia trench in your future!-)</p> <p>So relieved we got you that helmet, Angie;-) And thank you! It's an honour to be trench twins with super stylish Zap. I'm really loving my spikey do (very wind-blown in the pics, but rock formation gel kept it in pretty good shape). I think I've posted the shoes before, they're my old&nbsp;Mustang white flats&nbsp;(more of a bone colour irl, I've added a photo). Well, they have a tiny heel, and are amazingly comfortable. I walked 5 miles in them that evening.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fuchsia-trench---big-thanks-to-zap#post-956028 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 19:57:31 +0000 Debora 956028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh how I love fuchsia!
