Shelley appeared in many sewing catalogs when she was a model. In 1971, she appeared on the cover and pages of the Simplicity School Catalog Fall/Winter catalog. In the spread called "The Campus Color Spree," she modeled color-zinged fashion separates that could be worn around any school campus.

She wore pattern no. 9569, a jumper simple jumper that could be made in a mini or maxi length (Shelley modeled the latter). It had center back and side seam sand all-in-one front and back facings for armholes neck edges and straps. The straps fastened with snaps and buttons decorated the straps. It had a slit on the left side. A turtleneck sweater and matching leggings finished her ensemble. Roman sandals, a braided belt and Navajo-inspired bracelets finished her look. Shelley looked young, up-to-the-minute and ready to hit those 1971 campus grounds.
