 I have a job interview after being a SAHM for 6 years. My last job was one I had for a long time, so I haven't interviewed since being a young thing ..

I'm in my 40s. So, I'm trying to figure out how professional I need to dress and searched around here (and other places.) Found this: 
http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/61200.page   My god, are we still an incredibly sexist society or what? Can people really tell you you can't wear pants to work? (ie, have to wear a skirt) Shouldn't that be illegal?

I'm not wearing a skirt for the interview no matter what (I'm not comfortable in them, plus don't have the shoes for it.)

I'm trying to figure out other rules. (ie, do you have to wear matching blazer/pants, or is it enough if they go together nicely? I can't buy a suit because I wear a different size in pants than jackets. Didn't find matching pants/jacket because I was shopping at Marshall's. But they look nice together!

Also, I have long-ish hair but don't like to pull it back because it makes me look harsh. Is there some rule that if you have long hair it needs to be pulled back, or is neat and brushed enough?

it's not a job in a law office or business, but an academic-type environment.
