Dig Those Denims 2

a closeup of Shelley from a spread on Seventeen magazine, 1971

Shelley was a very busy model in the 1970s, appearing on many magazine and catalog spreads and and covers. In 1971, she appeared on the pages of Seventeen magazine's April issue. The issue dubbed as Superscenics USA was a special travel issue and it featured places to go to, food to eat and, of course, what to wear on the summer of 1971.

In the spread called "Dig Those Denims in New Mexico,", Shelley wore a denim look perfect for wearing to those archaeological digs in Albuquerque or the railroads at Santa Fe. She wore a pair of fun comic book-style printed denim jeans by Hillybilly (with its flared legs tucked into a pair of bittersweet suede lace-me-up boots by Olofdaughters) over a "longjohn" style knit top with floral appliques. A canvas belt with a round pouch by Vera finished her look. Shelley looked ready to get her hands dirty.
