  It looks lie you used Bueno before. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs like your blog are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  Themes are just “skins”. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

  After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.

  Thank you, but I am not sure why I was able to Bueno 20 minutes ago and now that I want to go back to it, I can’t? I really liked it and was stupid to have changed it.

  It’s a retired theme and themes are retired when they no longer support all WordPress.WordPress features. but you ought to be able to get it back on any blog that you used it one before. You won’t be able to use it on any site it wasn’t used on before though.

  @daniellaprcomm I checked on this, and you can switch back to Bueno yourself from the page below:

  https://daniellaprcomm.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php

  Just search for Bueno and click Activate.

  If you have trouble with this, let me know and I can make the change for you.
