Get a head start on spring: Sseko Designs sells leather sandals made by young women in Uganda who are earning money to further their educations. In the nine-month gap between secondary school and university, these women don't backpack through Europe—they make really cute shoes for $50 or less. The best part? You can reweave the straps through the sole to create different looks every time you wear them. Didn't you resolve to do good this year (and look good doing it)? [Racked Inbox]
