Ring-A-Ding Clinger

a closeup of Shelley from an ad
for Bobbie Brooks, 1967

Shelley appeared on many ads for Bobbie Brooks when she was a working 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 1967, Shelley appeared in an ad for Bobbie Brooks which had the tagline "The Many Frosted Fall Looks of Bobbie Brooks," a collection of sassy, swinging pink separates that could be worn on or off campus. Shelley wore the Ring-A-Ding Clinger, which was made up of a rib knit top with waist-whittling ribbing and an A-line skirt in all wool-houndstooth. Matching white hose and footwear finished her look. A pink ribboned ponytail and a gold O-ring chain belt accessorized her look. And Shelley looked swinging indeed.
