The Expandables 2

Shelley in a spread for Woman's Day magazine, 1975

Shelley appeared in a spread on Woman's Day magazine in May of 1975. The spread was called "The Expandables: 2 Basic Outfits. Each Translated into 5 Great Looks." She modeled one of the smart two-part outfits that could be expanded into a smashing spring wardrobe. Hers was the out-of-the-blue skirt and shirt ensemble which was made up of a soft shirt and a six-gore flared skirt, both by Koret of California.

To continue, the second look had the shirt worn as an overblouse with the waist defined by grosgrain ribbons secured in place with a flower. Any kind of ribbon was fine - in fact, even a belt would have had the same effect. A silver chain strap bag and pearl button earrings finished her look. And Shelley looked smashing.
