Red can be kind of cliché this close to the holidays, but if you ask me, that’s all the more reason to embrace the power color this time of year.  To avoid completely blending in with the decor, I recommend pairing the hue with a non-traditional color (i.e., avoid greens and whites) for a festive look without bordering on cheesy.  I chose this burnt orange skirt and a touch of leopard for a little colorful cheer.
