30 Instagram Captions For Your Out Of Office Pics, Because You're In #VacayMode

by Kristin Corpuz

As someone who sits at a computer for hours on end working and answering emails, I can honestly say that there are few better feelings in the world than being able to turn on an "out of office" reply. Hitting the "save" button on my OOO message makes me giddy every single time, because it means that I finally get to take a break from my hectic work life. If you're taking a much-needed vacay this summer and can't wait to turn on your auto reply, you'll need some Instagram captions for out of office pics you'll be posting from the beach.

Allowing yourself to go on #VacayMode for a week or even a long weekend is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You'll have a chance to get outside, breathe in fresh air, let your hair get salty, and let your beach bag get a little sandy. (I know it's a pain to get rid of later, but in the moment, you'll be so happy that it's there because it means that you're actually on vacation.)

So make sure you take some time for yourself this summer to completely relax and recharge. You deserve a break, and the beach is definitely calling your name.
