Perfectly Paired Up A

Spring and Summer 1974 catalog

Shelley appeared in many catalogs throughout her modeling career, from the late '60s to the late '70s. Mail-order catalogs were at the height of its popularity at the time. They were big-book size publications that contained a list and pictures of the general merchandise from, usually, a department store that were available for purchase and delivery straight to the homes of their customers. Everything from homeware to toys were featured in these catalogs... as well as garments and the latest fashion pieces. Shelley appeared in many spreads throughout the JCPenney Spring and Summer 1974 catalog.

In the spread called "Perfectly Paired Up," Shelley wore fashion separates that went perfectly together  ...in natural-look fabrics paired with subtle floral prints and coordinated patterned tops  ...or in soft peach-colored fabrics paired with coordinated floral prints. Shelley wore the Stripped Pullover Shirt which had front yoked shoulders, a button placket closing, and long sleeves with button cuffs over The Trouser Pants which had straight cuffed legs with piping-trimmed mock pockets, a front fly zipper, and an extended tab-and-button closure. She topped it off with The Western-Style Shirt Jacket which had a button front, a white piping-trimmed front yoke, a shirt-tail bottom, and long sleeves with button cuffs. She finished her look with a pair of matching Tassel Loafers and the Handbag that Converts From Clutch To Shoulder-Style. And Shelley looked stylish, fab and perfectly put-together.
