What is Black and White Party Attire?

I'm going to an event to kick off Milwaukee's Summerfest. The invite says Black and White Party Attire. Hmm. Well, my first challenge is that I don't own anything black other than shoes and a gross grain bow tie and cummerbund. Being a follower of all things CM, I have religiously purged my wardrobe of anything black. The closest I get is a midnight blue tux rig.

Party attire would seem to be cocktail party to me. From photos I found from last year's event - not black and white by the way - jackets without ties seemed the norm. So, the tux is out.

So, at this point, I'm thinking white trousers and a dark blue jacket, white shirt, black oxfords. Maybe a midnight blue, satiny tie.

Thoughts?
