^^ p.s. here's an update, i finally went to "saks" yesterday & checked out the larger size...and thankfully, i realized that it's way too big for me!!!...so, i'm glad i don't have to spend anymore time worrying that i bought the wrong size...although, i wish there was another size in between the 2 sizes, that would be perfect!!!...i'm still on the fence about whether to keep mine, since i can't carry it over my shoulders...but i'm wondering, if after they've stretched out some, maybe that would be possible (?)
