It was 1980-something, and Beverly Goldberg knew how to rock a frock!

Beverly Goldberg is the smother of all smothers, constantly overwhelming her kids and dishing out nubbies (a.k.a. neck kisses and hugs, for the uninitiated) at every turn. And she does it all while styling some ridiculously amazing sweaters, tracksuits, fringe, shoulder pads, and other colorful attire (many of which are on loan from the real Beverly) — all worn with great humor and heart by Wendi McLendon-Covey. Ahead, see 25 of Beverly's most awesome outfits.
