PowerShell moving files based on dates - powershell

Question

I'm trying to move all files six months or older into an archive file
I have
#set root folder
$baseFolder = "C:\Users\Caleb\Desktop"
$archiveBase = "C:\Users\Caleb\Desktop"
$limit_to=(Get-date (Get-date -Format d)).AddDays(-180)
#get files inside root
$folder = Get-ChildItem $baseFolder -File
#for each folder
foreach($file in Where-$folder.CreationTime -lt $limit_to ) {
#build the move destination path
$a=$file.CreationTime.Date.Year
$archive="Archive"
$name=$a+" "+$archive
$destination = Join-Path $archiveBase $name
#Create Directory And Deposite Files
if(Test-Path $destination)
{
mv $file $destination
}
else
{
mkdir $destination
mv $file $destination
}
}
I cant seem to get only the files that are older than 180 days.
I am a beginner so any efficiency changes I could make I'm open to

try this
$baseFolder = "C:\Users\Caleb\Desktop\"
$archiveBase = "C:\Users\Caleb\Desktop\"
$limit_to=(Get-date (Get-date -Format d)).AddMonths(-6)
mkdir $archiveBase -force
Get-ChildItem $baseFolder -File | where CreationTime -lt $limit_to | foreach {move-item $_.FullName -Destination ($archiveBase + $_.CreationTime.Year + " Archive" + $_.Name) -Force }
