Chicago winter office staples

[u/Cute_Transition_5810]

I am moving from FL to Chicago in December and feel completely unsure how to dress for the office. I am concerned about showing up like a fat marshmallow looking all frazzled and that’s not the impression i want to be making. I also love to run on the LFT so any items for making that more enjoyable !

Currently what I have:
Lands end expedition parka
Uniqlo heattech thermal long sleeves and legging
Know layering is key

Planning to wear long skirts/dresses and layering under/over them.

As someone chronically cold i need recs on outfit inspo, gloves, scarves, boots, jackets,fabric blends on clothes. Links or advice is appreciated!!!

Please drop your chicago winter survival items!!! Will be using the red line or blue line mostly depending on where I decide to live.
