The cover article that promised "Body-flattering outfits for normal sized people" should have been called "...for A normal sized PERSON" because it was a one-page, one-person deal, but she was a really cute, curvy gal. To be honest though, I liked her in her "before" jeans and curve hugging tshirt best! (Page 100)
The best corporate-without-being-an-automaton look can be found on page 190. Girls with good legs and smaller bottoms can go with this skirt; I'll wear mine a tad darker and several inches longer. Otherwise, kudos forthe whole look. ---->
Best look in the book: an ad actually - on page 56. Banan Republic model/singer/songwriter Ayo
(didn't know her before this ad) has such an effervescent smile
I want to kiss her.
And the trench aint half-bad either.
(Hope the belt is faux python however.)
Clothes: 
Adorable boxy jacket/top on page 82.
Adorable boxy jacket/top on page 82. <---- Would try this on an apple-shape over a pencil skirt?
Bright windbreaker on page 112. Everybody needs a pop of color! ----->
<------Cap sleeve peplum top also on 112. So flattering for a pear girl.
Beautiful classic sillhouette dress on page 122. ---->
It's Armani - $895. (Wow.) Let's have a contest to see who can knock it off best on their home sewing machine. I can name that tune for under $50...
I'm not usually a white-dress person,
but this little dress/belt/vest combo makes me think Meditteranean vacation and swarthy greek gods. (p169)
I'd wear it to the knee of course,
with a low heeled gladiator sandal.
Page 179 has a whole mix and match outfit I love! I'll just circle the items you need and you can go shopping. Pair with a simple brown or black wide-leg trouser and some garnet or ruby earrings, and you're set.
Even if you're not Sporty Spice, you gotta love these cute kicks with this retro-inspired T. (Avoid the top if you're an apple-shape though, you might look a bit unbalanced.) P182
When did romantic, sweetheart tops like this come back into fashion? And may I also say, "YEAH!" (184) ---->
Accessories: Stunning flower hair clips on page 70.

Lusciously pretty floral ring! I tried to find it at forever21.com and couldn't. :(
Love Love LOVE this necklace from page 94. Only $35 bux!
Shoes: Ok, shoes are accessories. But I love them too much to lump 
them. Fricken-satisfyingly-substantial-without-being-too-chunky red sandal. I gave up being vegan for shoes like this. (I still don't eat anything that comes from a creature, but this leather is a cast-off waste-product from other people's meat habit that would have just gone into a landfill. Right? Oh the justifications I'll make for really good shoes. )

Ok, so it wasn't all good. Worst look in the book: seersuckerish romper page 192.
What. Ever. Twice. I can't even bear to include a photo here.
Overall Review: Darned good issue. On the downside, I think their cover is starting to get further and further away from what's ACTUALLY in the issue, but what was in there was juicy and full of goodness, so a solid "A" for their March effort.
