batignolle vertical or horizontal

I own a BV :love: At 5'0" and 103 lbs, I find that it makes me look taller and slimmer xD BH makes me look the opposite :yucky:

I think for a bag like this, you really need to try it on in personal to see which style compliments you best.
 
I tried on both BH & BV, but BH definitely looks better on my petite frame. Plus, I can put papers and my calendar in there and get them in/out quickly without "reaching in." I hope that makes sense.
