a closeup of Shelley from a pic used
on a Woman's Day fashion spread, 1971
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. In the mag's August 1971 issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Braiding the Classics, Pure and Simple." It showed readers how to transform their fashion classics into one-of-a-kind outfits with the imaginative use of braiding.

for Woman's Day mag, 1971
Shelley modeled a cotton-denim peace jacket and shorts ensemble (by Levi's for Gals) that had been personalized with floral braids around the seams and borders. (For more, check out: Braiding the Classics 1) She also modeled a collared shirt top and shorts ensemble (by Lady Arrow) personalized with floral braids as well. But on this one, the braids have been turned into suspenders which have been sewn on to the back of the shorts, crisscrossed at the back, put through braid epaulets sewn on the shirt shoulders and then snapped inside the front of the shorts. The waist and side seams of the shorts have braid details as well. Matching shoes, cute knee-length socks, a fitted bonnet and Shelley's effervescent smile finished both looks. And Shelley looked summer sensational.
