"   Photo: Courtesy of the Outnet  In February, I waited to shop Oscar de la Renta&amp;#039;s first Outnet collection until the afternoon of the day it launched, which was sorta like signing up for SoulCycle on a Tuesday. For the second capsule, though\u2014which lands next week\u2014I&amp;#039;ll try a little harder to avoid the slim pickings, the &amp;quot;maybe I buy the two-sizes-too-small dress, never zip up the back and wear a coat over it because look at it&amp;quot; delusions.  A cell phone reminder should do for that, I think. I&amp;#039;m setting one now for the morning of December 17, because, well, look at it. It&amp;#039;s not model Miroslava Duma\u2014the Russian street style star who can somehow pull off leather overalls and Neverending Story-style tiaras while looking demure and vaguely aristocratic, not crazy\u2014that makes the capsule look good. It&amp;#039;s the clothes. There are houndstooth dresses and tweed jackets for work, full skirts for spring weddings and this one red and black print dress that can kinda go everywhere: work and parties and maybe even somewhere more cool than proper, if paired with lace-up heels and a kitschy clutch.  It&amp;#039;s wear-in-your-twenties-and-your-sixties stuff, the sort of things we justify to ourselves as &amp;quot;investment pieces,&amp;quot;\u2014only without the financial commitment, thanks to the Outnet&amp;#039;s involvement. Prices cap off at $1,095 but go as low as $325, which is really not that unreasonable for pieces few people (except, well, me) would know were Oscar de la Renta for the Outnet, not just good old Oscar de la Renta.
