Rosalina answered Tuesday March 4 2008, 5:10 pm: Taylor is a very nerdy type of girl. In the movie, she is portrayed as kind of chic- blazers with flower pins on the lapel, pencil skirts, chunky headbands, flats.
You could also take it the other direction and wear sweaters, Mary Janes, and pencil skirts.
I really loved the movie Taylor's look, but it really depends on how you plan on portraying the character.
Playing the Nerd Tips:
-If you're doing your own makeup, use "smart dots"(small white dots on the inside corners of your eyes) to look smarter offstage. I've really no idea why this works.
-Glasses automatically make you look nerdier. If you don't wear any, simply purchase sunglasses(small one, probably wire frames) and pop the glass part out. If you're not strong enough, ask a techie for help. They are the most awesome people ever.

**EDIT**
A jean skirt sounds perfect, as long as it isn't a mini... that would be pushing things.
For the decathalon, try to find a lab coat. Try asking a chemistry teacher at your school, or looking at a costume shop(ours is called Actor's Attic.) [ Rosalina's advice column | Ask Rosalina A Question ]
