A "retro sheila" in Australia is the woman who seems to have time-traveled from the 1970s or 80s, bringing with her all the groovy fashion and vintage vibes. She's the one who shows up to a party in a paisley-print dress, rocking a Farrah Fawcett hairstyle that defies gravity. Her idea of a good night involves playing vinyl records, preferably ones with a healthy dose of disco, and mixing drinks with ingredients you haven't seen since the Reagan era.
What makes her so retro? She’s got a collection of retro knick-knacks that could fill an entire op-shop. Her wardrobe is an explosion of polka dots, bell-bottoms, and shoulder pads that could take an eye out. The retro sheila loves a good nostalgia trip, from rewatching "Neighbours" reruns to hosting karaoke nights where every song is a classic hit from before 1990.
Don't be surprised if she drives an old-school Mini Cooper with leopard-print seat covers or keeps a rotary phone just for kicks. The retro sheila doesn't just embrace the past; she brings it to life, with a flair that's as timeless as it is hilarious. If you need someone to liven up your day, just find a retro sheila; she's bound to have a joke or two that hasn't aged a bit.
