Froze today - What did I do wrong?

I've ridden in temps down to -18F and never felt like I was going to freeze. I've had issues with toes and fingers, but my core has always felt warm after only a few minutes on the road. This morning, the temps were 32 F and I was cold and continued shivering and feeling cold for a good 15 minutes after I got to work and I can't figure out why. I dressed as always for these temps...tights, lined wind-pants, under armor winter layer top, showers pass elite jacket, gloves and my cycling boots.

I started out feeling a little chill, which is normal, but it never went away. I did start to sweat, so something was happening, but I felt cold. I'm trying to figure out what happened. Based on this, in your opinion, what did I do wrong....over dress? Under dress? Or it was just a fluke? This is the first time I've felt this cold on a commute to work (only 5 miles) in 5 years.
