In Jan of 1975, she appeared on the pages of Vogue magazine in the spread called "T-Shirt Dressing ...The Base For Everything." It featured clothes that had the look of a T-shirt or the feel of a T-shirt - it was deemed as absolutely the modern way to look. Shelley wore a red cotton-knit bandeau as a bikini top that could be slipped under a shirt - from Tric Trac. Casual pants and a pair of shiny bangles finished her look. And Shelley looked casual, modern and chic in her outfit.
