Plaid and Suede 1

on Family Circle magazine, October 1974

Shelley appeared on many issues of what was known as the Seven Sisters group of magazines. The Seven Sisters magazines were Woman's Day, Redbook, McCall's, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle and Better Homes and Gardens. They all catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazines featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. Shelley appeared on the pages of Family Circle magazine's October 1974 issue. She was part of a spread that featured Reversible Skirts that were designed by Gene Morin. She modeled a couple of the now classic skirts that could be worn either side out. She modeled the plaid (on one side) and imitation suede (on the other side) version that ended just below the knee. The skirt could go from the workplace to a casual evening out. The excess fabric could be made into a matching beret and fabulous scarf. Shelley was simply stylish in it.
