I screwed up and checked off very charming when what I wanted was smart and charming. My problem is that after 19 cases I still haven't received any charming clothes....everything has been smart and tough. Should I just change my skills to fit the smart category? Or just keep hoping?

Its frustrating when you get the wrong stuff, but as Reda said, you can sell the wrong stuff, and buy better gear. The Detective shop has some cheap charm gear (a worn coat, a pocket watch or such) that will get you started. You may as well sell the tough gear as soon as you get it, its useless except for its cash value.
Get rid of Cosa Nostra and go for Dies Arcanum or even socrates, LCN has NO charm gear. When you get some cash, you can pick up things at Lucy's but they are pretty pricy.
Finally, you will get charm gear sooner or later. Keep getting your charm skills (though smart skills are good too) - you will need them sooner rather than later.
