How do I upload a purchased theme to my wordpress?

I purchased a theme from a 3rd party site. I remember WordPress having a feature where I could upload it. I cannot find how to upload it now. Help!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s not possible.
You are confusing WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG. We cannot use any third party themes on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. The only themes we can use on WordPress.com hosted blogs are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and in your dashboard at > Appearance > Themes
There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:
upload any third party themes,
create child themes,
create our own themes,
edit templates,
create own own layouts,
or use stylesheets from other themes.See:

https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/There is no upgrade you can purchase here at WordPress.COM that changes that reality.
To install plugins or third party themes into a site then you have to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database.
