Business-casual clothes for a conference (female)

    I have a conference coming up, and it is business casual.
    Where I work, it is a very casual, jeans and trainers type place, so I don't have a lot of business type clothes. I also don't want to spend a small fortune buying some for the sake of a 3 day conference.
    I have a decent black pants and heels. I also have a couple of white shirts and a navy blazer. And um, thats it :o
    Is wearing navy and black together a big no-no??
    Are nice jeans acceptable for business-casual? (like skinny jeans)
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could throw together for this.

    Thanks :)

    I definitely wouldnt wear jeans on the first day - maybe on the third day after you see that its acceptable i.e. others are dressed down to - definite no-go with the trainers on any day of it, would be far to unprofessional?
    I wouldnt wear the navy blazer with the black pants either? navy an black dont go... but maybe wear the blazer with the smart jeans on the third day?
    I have a lot of the same issues as you i.e. not having to dress up all the time so not having the wardrope to suffice - however, Sometimes for conferences \ meetings with customers I wear a dressy top that I'd wear going out with my black pants an dress it down with a cardigan over it (ya can grab a cardi in Pennys \ H&M \ Zara for cheap)...
