on Wrights Idea Book of Trims, 1972
Shelley was a part-time model in the 1960s. But when she graduated from Smith College (with a degree in History) in 1970, she signed on full-time with Ford Models Inc. She appeared on many magazine covers and spreads and on many tv and print advertisements. In 1972, she appeared on the cover and pages of Wrights Idea Book of Trims. The booklet featured the many clothes and crafts young women of the time could make for themselves and for their loved ones.

On one of the spreads, Shelley modeled the diagonal flared skirt. Made from assorted red-and-white checkered fabric which were diagonally sliced and accented with navy blue trim, the skirt was deemed by the booklet as "a smashing look." A navy blue long-sleeved top, a pair of red patent leather pumps and a ton of matching accessories finished the look. And Shelley was just lovely in it.
