I’ve been looking around for a while, and I haven’t found the book that I wish existed—guides to style for women are more often about “expressing yourself” than systematic “this looks good, this looks bad” manuals. The closest I’ve found is What Not To Wear. -- there’s also a matching book.
Of the fashion magazines, Lucky is the most practical—the clothes are almost affordable and there are sections that detail how to put together a pretty outfit.
Still trying to figure out clothes, though. “Flattering” is hard to pin down. More advice would be welcome.
It’s not a fashion magazine, but I find a lot of the fashion advice in Real Simple to be quite helpful, and some (although not all) of the featured clothes are affordable. The website looks like it has some good resources too.

Thanks to SarahC and Airedale for pointing me to What Not to Wear. I’ve updated the post.
