Braiding the Classics 3

Shelley appeared on the pages of many issues of Woman's Day magazine. Woman's Day magazine is one of the Seven Sisters magazines that have catered to married women with children rather than single working women. The magazine featured homemaking and crafts, food and nutrition, health and fitness, beauty and fashion advice and articles. In the mag's August 1971 issue, Shelley appeared in the spread called "Braiding the Classics, Pure and Simple". It showed readers how to transform their fashion classics into one-of-a-kind outfits with the imaginative use of braiding. Shelley modeled a sky blue hipster skirt by Lady Arrow adorned with braiding along the skirt's edges. With it, she wore a white ribbed collarless top with a short button placket and short sleeves. To finish, she wore a choker and ring set that matched her outfit perfectly. And Shelley looked summer sensational.
