For PIR I'm *planning* on wearing a navy corduroy pencil skirt, grey tights, black ankle boots and a grey sweater-shell (if it arrives on time!) under a grey pea coat. Navy blue gloves and scarf. No hat. If it's especially cold I will add grey leg warmers.
For the rest of the weekend:
Today I got a really pretty new sweater with one of those fake button one-side collars. If it's really cold I will wear it for the rest of the weekend with my jeans. I have two pair which I haven't worn in over a year. I usually don't do pants. If it's not too cold (below 15F) I'll continue wearing skirts with leggings or cotton tights. Which will probably freak out Chicagoans. I know it bothered Coloradans, they were sure I must be freezing, LOL.
I still need one more sweater. I can't find another one I really like. And I HATE having sleeves under a coat. It gets bulky and hard to move. Sleeveless sweaters are hard to come by.
If it's snowy/slushy/nasty I'll wear my Columbia insulated winter boots (the only winter gear I saved from Colorado), if not I have two pair dress boots I plan to wear all weekend. -

PIR-Black dress pants with ivory sweater and my Div 096 pin. The rest of the weekend will be jeans.

Right now for PIR I am planning on wearing a black and white dress over khaki pants with tennis shoes. Then after it I will change into jeans, a sweater that Shawn picked out before he left and of course my Div 95 pin and scarf. The rest of the weekend will be jeans and probably another Navy wife shirt and layers. But then again I might not leave the hotel after I have to say good bye to him until we leave.

I think it is funny how much planning we put into this... don't worry I am right there with you!
I am wearing black pants and a black & white sweater to PIR. I don't plan on layering too much. I get hot easy and when Aiden acts up my BP goes up and that makes me warmer too. LOL! The things I have learned.
The rest of the weekend... my normal "mom" attire. Jeans and a sweater/shirt. Good thing that Patrick missed me. There's no glamour here. LOL! -

I too have been using this as an awesome excuse to shop. After I got the stuff I listed above, today I added another set of gloves and scarf.
I would bring my ice skates, I'm sure there is an outdoor ice rink in Chicago somewhere, but last time I skated I ended up in Neuro ICU. Not an experience I'd care to repeat. -

Lol, ice skating! that would be awsome! I've only been ice skating indoors.

We had an outdoor ice arena only a few blocks from our house in Colorado. In fact, there is a webcam for that ice arena. But that's not the one where I fell. It was a boring old indoor rink.

I actually went and bought a new outfit...I hate shopping but it made me excited to get the outfit because it felt like PIR was really going to happen...anyhow I'm wearing dark brown slacks, burnt orange sweater with a tan casual jacket. The outfit will also include my scarf with orange and of course my pin. I told my son to look for the woman in orange smiling so big she looks like the Cheshire Cat on Alice in Wonderland.
