Shelley appeared on the pages of many issues of Woman's Day magazine. Woman's Day magazine is one of the Seven Sisters magazines that have catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazine featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the cover, as well as on the pages, of Woman's Day Sewing & Fashion magazine in 1973 with featured fashions and style ideas for the modern married woman.

On the cover, she wore coordinated  separates which were also featured inside on a spread called "Travel-Happy Coordi-Knits." She also appeared in the spread called "Weather it Fashionably Come Rain..." where she wore Vogue Pattern no. 8699, a raglan-sleeved wrap coat which epitomized the high-fashion move at the time towards all-weather dressing. The fabulous coat was made from a unique, water-proofed, pin-tucked poplin. The same fabric, but without the pin-tucks, was used for the lining, pockets, collar and the self-tie belt. A knitted turtleneck top and matching footwear finished her look. And Shelley looked fashionably ready to face the rain.
