This September marks the one-year anniversary of the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [1] — congratulatory high-fives and happy dances all around! — and in celebration, our Editor-in-Chief Lisa Sugar [2] and Executive Style Director Dana Avidan Cohn [3] are taking a nostalgic look back at the fun and affordable fashion they've designed just for you.
With 12 months of cute dresses [4], cheeky tees, and fun jumpsuits [5] under our belts, a few super-standout pieces have come out on top for both Lisa and Dana — styles like a darling puffy-sleeve top [6], versatile floral-print shirt dress [7], and an occasion-ready jumpsuit [8] they've worn on repeat.
Since I'm majorly here for affordable wardrobe staples [9] that are at once versatile (read: that I can unabashedly outfit repeat in), I asked Lisa and Dana to spill on their absolute favorite POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [10] from the past year. Ahead, witness their top picks — not only are many still available to shop for $51 or less, but I've rounded up similar versions of their favorites that you can stock up on, including just-arrived pieces from the new September collection [11].
Lisa's Pick: POPSUGAR Print Tie-Waist Dress
"This printed green dress is from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [12] launch party — I love this cut so much and we make it in so many prints!" — Lisa Sugar, editor-in-chief

Lisa's Pick: POPSUGAR Short Sleeve Shift Dress and Moto Jacket
"This heart-print dress and blue moto jacket from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [30] launch collection is still one of my favorite outfit combos, and for Fall 2019, we've designed a new heart-print style I'll be wearing just as much. Coming soon!" — LS

Dana's Pick: POPSUGAR Printed Midi Dress
"This was one of my favorite dresses! The midi length is so flattering, plus, it was cut from a soft and lightweight fabric. I love how you can wear it multiple ways [32], like with strappy sandals to dinner or the office or dressed down with sneakers like we did for one of our campaign shoots, modeled by Carrie Carrollo [33]. This was another sell-out style, but we've designed a similar version for Fall, plus, a few past-season midis are still available in equally eye-catching prints" — DAC

Dana's Pick: POPSUGAR Tuxedo Jumpsuit
"Jumpsuits [56] are one of the items we've become known for, and they're so comfortable: this one actually feels like you're wearing loungewear despite the tuxedo details with appear super polished. I also love the range of prints and silhouettes we did this year, from feminine florals to beachy stripes and utilitarian boildersuits. And for Fall, we designed a few fresh versions I plan to wear to events and dinners." — DAC

Lisa's Pick: POPSUGAR Heart Pleated Swing Skirt
"I love this heart-print skirt from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [72] launch last Fall. This was sort of a sneak peek as I wore it to POPSUGUAR Playground in June 2018. This September, I'm excited about our new printed slip skirts which are a bit longer, to the knee." — LS

Lisa's Pick: POPSUGAR Athletic Mock Neck Sweater
"I can't resist a classic-with-a-twist stripe and this cozy sweater that I wore to Eva Chen's book launch party was my go-to in cold weather. Though this exact style sold out, we've designed a ton of striped knits from bell-sleeve silhouettes to a collegiate V-neck [84] and new-for-Fall versions with a slight '70s vibe." — LS
