Winter gear on the cheap (poor college student)

So, as we all know, winter is on the way. It's already getting pretty chilly in the mornings here. Twice a week I have to head out around 7 AM, and its been just below 40 degrees recently. So, I've started assembling a poor man's winter motorcycle wardrobe that I'm hoping will suffice this winter. So far I'm planning on wearing the following:

* Thermal underwear
* Two pairs of socks, one under the thermal underwear and the other over top
* Jeans
* Nice thick windbreaker that I'm going to modify with some sort of cinch to keep the wind out
* Underarmor ColdGear long sleeve undershirt
* Regular t-shirt (what I'll be wearing once I take everything off)
* Light zip up hoodie jacket
* My leather riding jacket with the liner installed
* My regular gloves with latex gloves as liners
* Arctiva Power Stretch balaclava (ordered this weekend)


At this point, my only concern is the gloves. I've got this idea of getting a pair of those cheap one size fits all stretchy gloves and wearing latex gloves over top of that (to create an air pocket for insulation), with my regular riding gloves on top of that. I'd like to get some gauntlet gloves if I can find some for cheap, but I'm pretty confident in my Underarmor shirt keeping my arms warm.

Any advice?
