The first one is acceptable (sorry for the bad and good icons), but you would not usually say "bundle up in a jacket/coat/scarf/etc.." It is not meant to mean that you had to wear a single item.

I was so cold this morning that I had to put on a coat.
I was so cold this morning that I had to wear a coat.

Your 2nd and 3rd sentences use the phrase perfectly. (technically your 2nd sentence is 2 sentences unless you use a semi-colon)

This is in American English.
