You just take pride to a degree in how you look that's fine. As long as you don't think or act like your God's gift to mankind for being so pretty. I hate girls that are stuck up and I refuse to talk to them or give them any attention.. I find it a big turn off if a girl acts like she's all that. I would say your friend is jealous of the fact that you can dress cute and show off your pretty hair and wear clothing that is "normal" for here. She is upset that you are so pretty and can wear what you like and be your own person and not be forced to wear a hijab or head scarf. You can do things with your hair and wear earrings and people will see them and see how cute they look on you. She can not, so she tries to point out things to make you feel insecure and make you feel like you are really not as in style and pretty. Your friend has some real jealousy issues she needs to work out. I am willing to bet she is pretty to, it is a shame that most Muslim girls have to wear things like that and can not dress and fix themselves up as well as other people can. I know several Middle Eastern women who are beautiful!! They are Muslim but do not act like it, they drink, and to not wear the head scarf and dress in nice clothing. In reality it is their parents that are Muslim more so than they are. It's not her fault but she should not be trying to point things out or tell you how to dress. She should accept you for who you are and not say things like that to you. Yeah you maybe a little conceded, but at the same time she should not try and say you look bad in this or that, like I said she is jealous because you are free to wear what you want to.

Umm... while a lot of girl's cattiness is rooted in jealousy, not all of it is. And frankly, from my experience, girls that go around blaming other girls' cattiness on "jealousy" often think that they are much prettier than they actually are.
Girls that like to tear each other apart like your friend that you mentioned are typically very insecure. It usually has less to do with being jealous of you than issues they have with themselves. I guess they're similar issues, but the bottom line is that the issue lies within the trash-talker, it's not necessarily about you. I had a friend that would run around saying other snotty girls were jealous all the time, and believe me, they had nothing to be jealous of. Open your mind a little, not everything is about you.
So I guess, yes. You're a little too conceited. Sorry.
Oh, and to the people saying it's a "burka" or various other spellings, it's actually a CHADARI. "Burqa" is a word totally made up by westerners that actually seems to have no roots whatsoever in the middle east, where the garment comes from... and it refers to the head-to-toe veil, not just the head scarf.

Young people often spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to be involved in society and their place in society. Ie...I am good looking, is this the right clothes to wear and so on.
It is very difficult and some people grow up thinking they are not good looking or wearing bad clothes, simply because of stupid things people say.
Girls are often rude about appearance without any intention of actually being rude, they are just talking. You possibly talk the same way about movie and pop stars.
It is hard, but you have to learn to judge for yourself. Mostly I suggest keep it simple, don't try and dress too cool and you will look nice. Yes, sometimes you will choose the wrong colour for yourself or be a fashion victim, but seriously, you will get over it.
Don't take the little words to heart, and think about whether your friends help you over the big things to decide if they are your real friends or not.

OMG, a scarf?!?
A lot of people wear scarves....
Anyway, she may be jealous...or she may simply be telling the truth and not like your clothes.
But to be honest I hate when girls assume that if anyone is ever rude to them it's because they're jealous.
EDIT: Okay..it's called a burkha. She wears it because that is her cultural background. I didn't think you were really conceited before. Now I just think you're both conceited and ignorant.

ummm...well it's a cultural thing. So I don't really find it that hilarious. And you didn't really start to sound conceited(just sounded like an average girl) until you started making fun of your best friend for having some dignity.
PS they might be mean to you because you make fun of them...just a suggestion because I don't think that I should judge you without knowing you.

You may not be conceited. That girl may be jealous of you because friends don't put down each other unless they are envious. Also, considering she wears a hijab(?), she may be frustrated that she can't dress like a normal kid so she takes it out on you.
I am only basing my opinion on your side of the story though...

Scarfs aren't bad...but I guess it depends on the particular one lol.
But I would say maybe consider that she is just being honest with you...although that is a bit rude on her part! She may be jealous..but I would just consider the other possibilities.

I would stay away from girls like that - she is not your friend if she says that. My friends would never say that to me...ever! I am still friends with my friends from school and it has almost been 20 years. If anyone of them would have said that - I would have dropped them immediately. The world is so big with so many people you don't have to take that.

Believe me, if I was mean to you, no way would it be because I'm jealous of you.
To be honest, I HATE 'extremelyyyyyYyYyyyY' nice people.
They really piss me off, especially when they try to strike up a conversation with me.
Maybe she just didn't like your style... believe me, you really shouldn't be so confident.

I think you're foolish for caring what other people think of you; it just proves that you're insecure..
AND your added details just pissed me off; it sounds to me like you're being racist. those "scarfs" are actually part of the Muslim religion and tradition..and they're not "scarfs" (it should be "scarves") they have a name... they're called "burkhas"
you're extremely arrogant.
