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.

In the three-page spread, Shelley modeled a cotton-denim peace jacket and shorts that had been personalized with floral braids around the seams and borders (For more, check out: Braiding the Classics 1). She also modeled a collared shirt top and shorts ensemble personalized with floral braids as well (For more, check out: Braiding the Classics 2). She also modeled a sky blue hipster skirt adorned with braiding along the skirt's edges (For more, check out: Braiding the Classics 3). And lastly, she modeled a Tiffany Manor T-shirt adorned "Mondrian-style" with two braids related in pattern and color. With it, she wore a pair of sunny yellow summer pants and matching sunny yellow earrings. And Shelley looked summer sensational in all the braiding-adorned outfits she wore.
