Smashing Coats

a closeup of Shelley from an ad for Sears, 1971

Shelley has appeared on many ads for Sears during her Supermodel tenure. In October 1971, she appeared in their ad called "Yes, from Sears Junior Bazaar." It featured fashions and accessories for the autumn season of that year. It showcased "two smashing coats" for that fall season. Shelley wore one of them, the military-style rain shedder coat in bright red... and she wore it over a cream-colored turtleneck top and brown slacks. Boots that laced up the front and zipped down the side completed her outfit. Knitted gloves with real leather palms, a brushed leather shoulder bag and a matching belt finished her look. With her hair simply tied in a bun, Shelley looked positively smashing.
