What to wear to keep warm?

Howdy All,
I'm still pretty new to the world of road cycling and training for a charity ride which so far in Perth has been trying with all the rain we've been having. When we do get a sunny day it can be very very cold outside! I need to train but am unsure of what kind of clothing I should be wearing. I've looked around and I'm not sure if a cycling jacket or jersey would be best. How cold can it be that a jersy will suffice? Also I see arm warmers, leg warmers, ear warmers... I'm thinking 3 quarter pants would be ideal. I don't have a lot of money and can't really afford to run out and buy something that is less than ideal.
I want to ride early mornings, half hour before sunrise. I'm on the bike for at least 1.5 hrs so I dont want to be cold!!
I'm open to all suggestions!!
Thanks
