Help! 1st Birkin, 30cm or 35cm for 5'7 woman?

[silly bun]

Help! I'm going to get my first Birkin, I saw an 30cm orange birkin with gold today, I LOVE IT. But do you think it's a bit small with a big body if I use it with jeans?
I know 35cm looks better on jeans. (But gotta wait for more colors)
(will be 5'10 with heels)

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I am 5'1" and I CAN do both but prefer a 35, so I vote 35 for your height.

Good luck!

35cm..........it's a little too large for me....I'm 5'4", and I carry a 30cm.....but if you're 5'7".......it would be perfect!

I´m 5.4 and I prefer the 35 to be honest. Good luck

hehehe, thanks! I made up my mind, but gotta wait for more colors!
I LOVE orange or pink.

And the pink constance 18 is gone!

35. Otherwise the 30 may look more like a handbag on you rather than a tote....

Go for 35, it will be perfect for you!

I went for the 35 when I got my Kelly. I was presented with every size up to a 40. The 40 was too brief case looking and the 35 was just perfect. I am 5'6". Wait for the right size and you will know it! Ooh, orange. Lucky you.

Another vote for 35cm if your using your bag as a tote/day bag. A 30cm would work more as a handbag on tall girls.

35cm easy!

I'm about 5'4" and I have a 35, its heavy but I say go for the 35, also.
