There is no button to revert to a previous theme.@jonrainwater
Your only option is to browse through the theme gallery and look for it, I’m afraid. You won’t lose any of your content when switching themes, but you might have to reconfigure your widgets and any customizations you had. -
Sometimes you can use either Google’s cache of your site or the Internet Wayback Machine to see what theme you used previously. In this case, using the Wayback machine from August, your site was using a Customized Vigilance theme, whose demo you can see here http://vigilancedemo.wordpress.com/
Also, when you want to preview your site in a new theme you don’t actually have to switch themes. You can use the Customizer to see how it might look before changing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ Be forewarned that the Customizer works best in the most up-to-date browsers and even then can be a bit glitchy.

Internet Wayback Machine? Oh dear. So the internet really is permanent, no matter how many takedown requests one submits to Google… ;-) -
Actually, I love it only for going back and seeing how truly awful my early websites were. :)
