Halloween Nerd Costumes

Several years ago, my then 8-year old insisted on going as a nerd for Halloween. To put together her Halloween nerd costume, we hit up the local thrift store and scored this ensemble. Lovely, right? It was easy to do, cost minimal money and still to this day she recalls the time she went trick or treating as a nerd. 

• Geek glasses (taped, OF COURSE)
• Oversized khaki pants – thrift store find
• Tweety bird vest – thrift store find (and she won’t throw it away ARGH!)
• Girl scout shirt – thrift store find
• Hair in various pony tails
• Mismatched sock

This DIY nerd costume worked out fabulous. She loved it and received rave reviews from her friends.

If you are putting together a geek costume, here are a few ideas to get you started:
