hi! about 5 foot 8. i don't carry that much stuff either, so another reason the 30 works is that it holds my phone, wallet, keys, and lipgloss fine. but i will say the 35 is great for carrying magazines and or a sweater! you can't do that in a 30 too well 
but a lot of ladies who are shorter do carry the 35 off pretty well. i think a lot of it is attitude and how you feel carrying the 35. it's a great bag regardless of the size!

I dont remember if I had already written here or not.. but I love 30's I feel it suits me better and I love how it can go from day to night
One thing I really love about 30 is how easy it is to pop into a waterproof shopping tote or carrier (eg.Le Pliage or Envirosax) which you can then carry on your shoulder. A godsend if the weather turns bad or you just need your hands free for a while.
I'm 5'6 and I've tried both 30 and 35 at the store and finally decided to take the 30 because (1) I don't carry a lot (usually just wallet, cosmetic bag, a small pack of tissue, cell phone, check book and couple more miscellaneous items), and (2) 35 is much heavier than the 30. However, I do admit that 35 is good for traveling that you can literally throw everything in. Therefore, for daily use I would definitely choose the 30.
Well, I finally got to try on a birkin, and it is definitely 30 for me. But I am also one who doesn't carry much unless you're talking diaper bag.
I actually tried on both a 30 and the store when I was ordering. At the store the 30 seemed to be the right size. However, when my bag finally came, it looked much smaller as I tried it on at home. Thankfully, my SA was able to get me a 35 and that seems to be the size for me.
