My avatar is a casually dressed girl from the 40's - 50's. But it is so basic right now, I need suggestions! Thank you, and remember to ping me!

What about pieces from the Jitterbug trunk? Or that might be too early, or too late. 40-50's I think of the poodle skirts

I am trying to go for an outfit that would have been worn on, say, the I Love Lucy show.

Polka dots were really popular in the 50s, I think? As were poodle skirts, so I agree with what said. That would also possibly make it more obvious what you're trying to go for. :) Also maybe jazz it up with a floral item in the hair, or just a small clip?

Oh..hmm...I'll look up some pictures and then see what I can find.

I think the Vintage Rose Hair Piece's might work. -still looking XD-

A string of pearls would fit nicely I think

Would you be able to use any items from the female side of the perhaps? It's a 1940s trunk.
