grats!
It looks like you're making use of what you have on hand.

I think you'd find that you can get away with thinner/fewer layers if you have a wind-proof shell top and bottom.
At 10 degrees I usually have mid-weight tights and a pear izumi rain shell on bottom, and two layers (thin "tech" underlayer and mid-weight polar fleece) up top with my showers pass elite rain shell to keep the wind out. For my head I use a thin balaclava with a polar fleece headband, and a windstopper neck gaitor (only below 15 or so). Otherwise, backcountry ski gloves and Keen "Austin" casual shoes with cleats, and hiking socks.

I start out a little chilly, but by the time I'm in an aerobic groove, I'm plenty warm.
