I would go with A. Materialistic and cocky

She is materialistic because she had her husband buy her an expensive dress to go to a ball and she had went and borrowed a friend's necklace which she thought was very expensive and lost it.

She is cocky because she thinks she has to be the best dressed for the ball and not look poor when she was basically from the middle class because she could afford things that the poor couldn't.

Just gather as many details
