How can I position a div behind another div, so part of the dropdown will be covered?

I am creating a simple avatar dropdown menu. The problem I am facing is that I want the drop-down menu to cover part of the avatar border, so it looks smoother. Here is what I mean.

I probably built my HTML / CSS incorrectly, but I tried adding z-indexes, but it didn't change anything. I basically try to make the drop-down menu go after the avatar button and set the lower border of the avatar like no one else, so it looks no problem.

Any ideas what I could do differently?

HTML

<div class="user">
    <div class="avatar">
        <img src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>assets/img/avatars/don.jpg" class="image">
        <img src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>assets/img/header-arrow-inactive.png" class="arrow">
        <div class="dropdown">
            <div class="wrap">
                <p>Test</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

header .user { position:relative; width:37%; padding:0 10px 0 0; height:100%; float:left; text-align:right; }
header .avatar { position:relative; display:inline-block; width:70px; height:50px; margin:19px 0 0 0; text-align:left; vertical-align:middle; border:1px solid transparent; }
header .avatar img.image { vertical-align:-30px; margin:0 5px 0 10px; }
header .avatar img.arrow { vertical-align:-18px; }
header .avatar:hover { background:#fff; border:1px solid #dcdcdc; border-bottom:none; }
header .avatar:hover .dropdown { display:block; }
header .avatar .dropdown { position:absolute; top:50px; left:-231px; display:none; width:300px; height:200px; background:#fff; border:1px solid #dcdcdc; }
header .avatar .dropdown .wrap { padding:20px; }
header .avatar .dropdown p { margin:0; }

Put the "avatar" inside the "drop down list" and use the negative margin-top.
