in terms of M/L vs Jumbo. i have both. I am 5' 5" too. I find the Jumbo quite bulky and while you are worried the M/L doesnt fit much in, it sounds like it will be perfect for what you need, running errands and for a dinner. I far prefer my M/L to my Jumbo. The Jumbo is quite heavy and i dont need it as i usually carry very little. in the M/L i carry a small wallet/coin purse, iphone, keys, pack of tissues, compact foundation and lipstick. You have to pack it neatly but it still holds a fair amount.
 
I just returned my jumbo for a ml. Although the jumbo was gorgeous I did not wear it. I just received the ml and have wore it twice. I found that the jumbo looked too bulky and kind of conservative while the ml looks more chic on me.
 
I have both and to me... they serve different purposes. Medium is for dinners when less is needed in the bag. Jumbo is more for day to day. So really have to depend on your needs and how you much carry in your bag... ;)

I have both, and I use both. For my purposes because I don't need to carry a lot, I would choose the jumbo, which still holds way more than a medium flap. I use the maxi when I need to carry more than my Sarah wallet, a small lv agenda, and a small lv pochette and phone. Otherwise, I use the jumbo and even then, there is still room for other things. The jumbo IMO goes from day to night, but the maxi is more for going to the office or work. But have I brought it to dinner when going from work to dinner? Absolutely! If you are planning on getting both eventually, get the maxi first before the prices go up. If you were choosing only 1, I would go with Jumbo.
 
i took this baby home. she is mine and i can't believe my luck!

after seeing her, i knew instantly that M/L is the perfect size for me. i would just have to learn to downsize with the stuff i take around with me...and after seeing Kayzee's and Chi Town Chanel's 13B, i fell in love with this color...but i was telling myself to begin with a black CF and get the red later but when my SA showed me this in M/L i just knew it was meant to be. i am so happy!
I really love this red color, enjoy :)
 
I returned my Jumbo for the M/L , because I found the Jumbo to be too bulky. I am hoping to find an authentic single flap jumbo (of course it will have to be a pre-loved one) one day as they seem to be a lot less bulky.
