But my personal favorite is still a medium as I'm petite.

I agree!! I would need more info to make a recommendation on what would be best for your needs.

Personally, I the medium size!

look wise i love the medium flap but its more of an evening bag imo

while the jumbo is more practical. I do carry a jumbo even on night outs i just shorten the strap a bit to make it look more of a night bag, looks great imo LOL

The medium just looks so sleek, sharp, & classy in my opinion. Jumbo is beautiful also, but it can look awkwardly large if you are petite. If you are a big bag kinda gal, then jumbo I guess. Really depends on how much you carry around with you & what looks right with your proportions. For me, Medium.

My vote goes to the Jumbo. I find not all of my stuff will fit in a Medium.

On second thought, since you like the Jumbo, I think you should get it. You can shorten the straps I just learned how by trying what is pictured below. Maybe get 2 rings to make each strap shorter. I think the Jumbo will then look really good on you. You can make it look good and fall on your body to where it looks best on you. Then it won't look awkward on your proportions. I think I want a jumbo now myself. I just never liked how low the Jumbo hung on me, but now I really really want one.

*** the pics are of a small ring (similar to a key ring, but much smaller) that was taken off of one of my cell phone charms (could probably find one at a craft/hobby store also)** It's really easy to put on & take off**

^^ Thanks, luvchnl for sharing the tip about strap shortening. I'll give it a go. But in response to this thread, I would say go for Jumbo. It's a versatile size.
