Shelley appeared on the pages of many issues of Woman's Day magazine. Woman's Day magazine is one of the Seven Sisters magazines that have catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazine featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the cover, as well as on the pages, of Woman's Day Sewing & Fashion magazine in 1973 with featured fashions and style ideas for the modern married woman.

On the cover, she wore coordinated  separates which were also featured inside on a spread called "Travel-Happy Coordi-Knits." She also appeared in the spread called "Weather it Fashionably Come Rain..." where she wore Vogue Pattern no. 8699, a raglan-sleeved wrap coat which epitomized the high-fashion move at the time towards all-weather dressing. And she appeared in its accompanying spread called "Or Come Snow ...Skiwear You Can Sew," where she wore Butterick Pattern no. 3171, a V-neck jumpsuit with extended shoulder, under Butterick pattern no. 3308, a matching raglan-sleeved, zippered ski jacket. It was made from the most ideal fabric for ski-wear, a two-way stretch double knit. A contracting turtleneck pullover top, a matching ski cap and ski boots finished her look. And Shelley looked fashionably ready come rain, come snow.
