Shelley appeared on many Sears catalog issues from the 1960s to the 1970s. In 1974, she appeared on many spreads throughout the Sears Wish Book for the 1974 Christmas Season catalog. In the spread called "The Indispensable Sweaters of Rib-Knit Acrylic... Each in 5 Great Colors," she modeled two great sweaters that should be staples in every woman's wardrobe at the time.

Shelley modeled the Hugh Turtleneck Style sweater. It was a ribbed pullover sweater with long sleeves and a high neck. It was and is a fashion staple. It came in five colors - light blue, gold, navy blue, true red and white. Shelley wore the light blue and the true red versions. She also modeled the Cross-Over V-Neck Style sweater. Likewise, it was a ribbed pullover sweater with long sleeves; but, this time, it had a V-neck. It could be worn on its own or over a shirt. It came in five colors too - gold, true red, black, light blue and navy blue. Shelley wore the black version. And in both sweaters, Shelley looked sensational.
