Recycling Wardrobes A

closeups of Shelley from a spread 
for Co-ed magazine, 1971
 
Shelley was one of the busiest models in the 1960s and 1970s. She appeared in countless ads, catalogs and magazine spreads. In September of 1971, she appeared in a spread for Co-ed magazine called "Recycling 4 Wardrobes Under $100." It featured four wardrobe sets that could be reused and rotated and recycled - just like aluminum, glass and paper (Eco-notes were even added to the spread for info in how to recycle the recyclables). The wardrobe pieces in the spread were items that readers could wear and wear and wear over and over and over. Shelley wore a Pandora bone shirt over a plaid pleated skirt in basic blues and greens by Parlane which was topped with a belted navy corduroy jacket by Lady Wrangler. Roman Stripe socks and shoes by Viner finished her look. A knitted cap and a white elephant pin by Tempo accessorized her look. And Shelley looked chic and ready to recycle.
