Vacation Mates

a closeup of Shelley from an ad
for Bobbie Brooks, 1972
 
Shelley appeared on many ads for Bobbie Brooks when she was an active model. Bobbie Brooks was a women's clothing line that specialized in affordable women's garments. It was one of the big brands in the mid-20th century and was known to produce clothes of good quality. In 1972, Shelley appeared in an ad for Bobbie Brooks which had the tagline "Vacation Mates," a collection of tiny, travel light, machine wash and dry in a jiffy fashion pieces that could be packed really quickly. It came in yellow and violet knits. A bucket hat with a pin attached and a pair of heeled sandals finished her look. And Shelley looked chic as usual.
