Shelley appeared on many Sears catalog issues from the 1960s to the 1970s. In 1973, she appeared on many spreads throughout the Sears Wish Book for the 1973 Christmas Season catalog. In the spread called "Today's Most Exciting Accessory Tops," she modeled the perfect finishing touch for any wardrobe.

Shelley wore a hand-crocheted poncho, one of the most exciting fashion accessories that year. It was triangular with granny squares in a diamond pattern. It was imported from the Philippines. Underneath she wore a red long-sleeved turtleneck pullover top over a pair of matching red pants. Shelley looked stunning.
