Welcome to TE!
You're roughly my height and inseam. (I'm a little taller than you with a 31.mumblety" inseam). What's the top tube length? I need a 52-54cm in most women's road bikes in terms of leg length, but since I have a super-short torso, I need the top tube length on something a size smaller, so next time I buy a bike, that's what I'm going with. It's a balancing act, for sure. The numbers on the manufacturer's website is for the "average" person...so that guideline may or may not pertain to you.
I would suggest that you go to your LBS and at least try it, since you'll have to bring in the bike to them for servicing anyway. (And from what I read around here, shops make most of their money on services rather than selling bikes. The profit margin on those is pretty slim.)
