  Hello there,
  That is not a WordPress.COM theme. 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
  Relevant support docs:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/adding-new-themes/ You cannot upload any third party themes into a WordPress.COM hosted blog so be clear on that. There is no upgrade you can purchase here that changes that reality.

  To browse themes that you can use go to this page https://theme.wordpress.com/
  Click the Find a theme button.
  A page will open with feature filters you can use to narrow your theme selection search.

  Example: 11 Free Business + Minimal WordPress Themes
  https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/minimal+business/?sort=free

  Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. 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 the “activate” or the “preview” link, 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.

  Note that every theme will have a detailed theme description page with set up instructions and a live demo site page that you can consult. Here’s an example:

  https://expounddemo.wordpress.com/
