Shelley has appeared on many spreads for many catalogs from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Many Supermodels at the time appeared in the most popular catalogs during the era like Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, Patti Hansen and Shelley Smith, just to name a few. Many models who eventually became actresses also appeared in the catalogs like Veronica Hamel, Erin Grey, Kim Basinger and Pam Dawber.

Shelley appeared on the pages of Montgomery Ward's 1975 The Early Christmas Shopper's Book of Values catalog. In the spread called "You've Got The Spirit in Bright Stripes 'N Wards Finest Pull-On Pants," she modeled separates that were perfect for that holiday season. She wore the Sleeveless Turtleneck Shell top (a white double knit pullover top with ribbed neck and arms, a back neck zip and hemmed bottom) over Wards Finest Pull-On Pants (with the new slimmer leg pant style and which needed no ironing). She topped this off with the Striped Up Shirt-Jac (which had a diagonal striped print, pointed collar and big buttons). A beaded necklace finished her look. And Shelley looked fabulous and perfectly dressed in the spirit of the season.
