Soon after the latest episode aired, in which new character Candice wore [this outfit](http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/images/photos/scet/645/NUP_104903_1928.jpg), I discovered her shirt is a [Lip Service](http://www.lip-service.com/lipservice.php) product. It’s [this shirt](http://www.lip-service.com/style_closeout.php?body_type=&group=114&style=49-212&k=0), from the Suspect Device line, in black and orange. I ordered the shirt yesterday, because I think I’d look good in it (not as pretty as the actress, of course, but not bad). Once I’d ordered it, and realized that I already own boots like hers, it occurred to me I could re-create the whole ensemble. Except, I don’t know who makes that skirt she’s wearing. It’s not from Lip Service or Hot Topic, and I don’t know where else to look. Can any of you help me out here? ---

Am I missing something? Isn’t she just wearing a black shirt and a plaid mini-skirt? Kinda of a naughty school girl supervillainous thing… I’ll be in my bunk. ---

[QUOTE=Justin\_Bailey] Am I missing something? Isn’t she just wearing a black shirt and a plaid mini-skirt? Kinda of a naughty school girl supervillainous thing… I’ll be in my bunk. [/QUOTE] It’s a _specific_ black shirt, as linked, and I assume the skirt’s a name brand as well. I will match it if I can. No, it’s not a naughty schoolgirl thing at all. Get back out of your bunk. ---

[/QUOTE] Looks like a pretty generic black-and-white plaid to me. My daughter picked one up just like it at a store called Dots. ---
