The Proenza Schouler PS1 goes Military Chic

Before Vlad and I headed to NYC to find an apartment, I told everyone on Twitter that if we found a place I was going to reward myself with a new bag. I had decided it would either be a Balenciaga bag or Proenza Schouler bag. Well, hello! What was I thinking? A move to NYC is very expensive, especially when it comes down to all of the fees. So I left bag-less but with a great apartment, which was obviously the way to go.

To be completely honest, I desperately want both the PS1 and a Balenciaga City. So it was probably better not to over tempt myself. Speaking of tempting, here is the Proenza Schouler PS1 in olive green.

Military green is making a huge statement. The color is always soothing to be, the perfect pairing of green with hues of brown that gives it a very wearable coloring. The PS1 bag itself is already a little rugged chic, so olive green is a match made in heaven with this bag. Buy via Net A Porter for $1,995.

Congrats on the apartment!
But you really should get yourself that Balenciaga bag soon ;)

I fell in love with this bag the minute I saw it!! :)

Well, really the big question is if you found an apartment that will fit all of your bags! :-)

  We found an apartment, but I don’t think it will fit all of my bags! I am seriously bummed about that part, but love the place!!

I am loving the military trend this year! With all the skinny cargo’s and the nice colors! I wanted this bag before, but now it is at the top of my wishlist in this color!!!!!

If you are going to get the Proenza Schouler, I wouldn’t get it in a trendy color. You don’t want to look dated.
Personally, I would get the Balenciaga. I am still not a fan of the PS1, and I still don’t understand the lust for it.

I love the PS1…have it in 2 colors…love the leather…this color is subtle but I’d probably never choose it.

I tried this PS1 in military green at Barney’s, and it was more than gorgeous. Personally I would get this one rather than Balenciaga city.
babe

…what color and hardware combination of the Balenciaga City is on top of your wishlist right now???

Lovely! I wish the price would come down to something more reasonable.

Megs how could you say “So I left bag-less” ! Something you will never and should never experience!
Congratulations on the move. Excitement plus I am sure.

I looked at the PS1 several times, over this years, but just wasn’t totally satisfied with what I saw although I love the “satchel” style. Then I got lucky a couple weeks ago, on http://www.hautelook.com, when the Carla Mancini (Made in USA) satchel popped up and for $212. (down from well over $500). It looks very similar to the PS1. I took a leap and purchased it and it just arrived about an hour ago and I absolutely love it. The leather is beautiful and I couldn’t be happier.
