Shelley appeared on many catalogs throughout her modeling career. She appeared in Aldens 1971 Spring and Summer Book of Big Ideas wearing the latest trend, dresses for those action-filled days. The sporty style was on the rise and many clothes manufacturers  were jumping on the bandwagon. Aldens came up with their own version of the look and Shelley showed readers how to wear them.

Shelley wore the T-Shirting look, a sporty dress that could be worn during those action-filled days. It was a stripe-printed dress with a difference, diagonal neck zips. It had an oval-shaped neck and raglan sleeves. It came in red and white or navy and white - which Shelley wore. A simple brooch finished her look. With her short-crop wig and Alden's swinging transistor radio in hand, Shelley looked ready for those sporty action-filled days.
