Shelley in a spread for Seventeen mag, 1971
Shelley appeared on many spreads for Seventeen magazine throughout her modeling career. In Feb of 1971, she appeared in a spread called "Brave Looks, Rave Looks" where she modeled fashion separates that could be made by readers with the use of tribal-art-printed textiles from the Navajo Indians. Anyone with sewing skills (or even just interest in sewing) could make the Mother-Earth-inspired one-of-a-kind fashion pieces.

Shelley wore the Skirting For Savvy Squaws look, a long gathered skirt with a ruffled hem in tandem with a bathing suit bra top, McCall's patterns 2720 and 9704 respectively. The skirt was made fom the Navajo fabric and the bra from a matching fabric. A sash by Elegant, a choker by Laguna and sandals by Hugo Goehner finished her look. Shelley, with her hair tied back in a modified Princess Leia style, looked sensational.

Shelley also wore the Swinging Powwow look, a pair of low-riding hipsters with wide legs in tandem with a midriff-bearing long-sleeved top that could be tied at the lower edges, all from McCall's pattern 9704. Both the top and pants were made using Navajo fabrics. A belt and choker by Laguna and a playful band around her forehead finished her look. Shelley looked super in her Navajo-inspired outfit.
