Shelley was one of the highest-paid models in the 1970s. She started out as a part-time teen model in the 1960s, then went full-time in the 1970s after graduating from college in 1970. Images of Shelley appeared everywhere - from magazine covers to fashion spreads to television and print ads. She was one of the biggest earners at the Ford modeling agency. By 1976, she jumped to Supermodel status when she landed an exclusive contract with Revlon to endorse their Charlie perfume and cosmetics line. She appeared on the cover and pages of numerous major publications, including Harper's Bazaar.

In December of 1977, Shelley appeared on the pages of Harper's Bazaar... in the spread called "Luxurious Christmas At-Home Looks." In it, she modeled outfits perfect for those intimate Christmas celebrations at home with the family and with friends. She wore outfits with easy, elegant shapes in soft and fabulous fabrics. She modeled The Black Velvet Smoking Suit by Fernando Sanchez (check out: Christmas At-Home Looks A) She also modeled The Cachet of Cashmere and Crepe robe and pants set by Matej for Odette Barsa... which was just perfect to slip into on Christmas morning or on any morning for that matter. The soft-as-silk, warm-as-fur, pure cashmere robe was simply cut. It was in an appealing taupe color with pink piping and a pink self-tie cord belt. It came with a pair of matching pink pull-on pants. Shelley was the epitome of glamour and luxury in the spread. For more, check out: Luxurious Christmas Looks
