Just like wisdom, knowledge and understanding where understanding is a mix of the two and generosity,strictness and beauty where beauty is a mix of the two so too with yarmulkah, tzitzit and tefillin.
Yarmulkah concentrates on the thought that G-D is above us. With tzitzit we remember all the commandments of the Torah. Teffilin has two parts: The teffilin of the head and the teffilin of the arm. The head represents thought and the hand represents action.
A further difference is that Teffilin is from the Torah, tzitzit too but only if you are wearing a four cornered garment, and finally yarmulkah is a minhag (custom).

Check out this guide to tallis and tefillin! (www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/110306/jewish/Tallit-and-Tzitzit.htm)
Maybe it will clear a few things up.

mordechai's point is valid.
maybe it was chol hamoed, the intermediary days in yom tov that we put a tallis on but no teffilin.

| In Chassidic circles it is customary for men to begin wearing the Tallit at marriage, what is the connection between marriage and the Tallit?
